Not so small that meeting someone new is an unusual experience, but small enough that you expect to be on a first name basis with the old man on the check-out at the grocery store who only does the job because he’s bored in retirement. It sits in the middle of 100 miles of untouched, untamed ancient-growth forest somewhere in northern Wisconsin called Mausoleum Woods. Exactly where is hard to pinpoint, because the hundred miles of forest only take up about a mile and a half of actual map space. You see, Mausoleum Woods is a Terra Incognitae. A Midrealm. A space of mystical power that not so much breaks the laws of reality as simply writes its own laws and pays more attention to those than the ones we care about. There are no roads into or out of Mausoleum Woods, and the river that cuts through the middle of it doesn’t connect to any of the hundreds of rivers in the rest of northern Wisconsin. The only way into or out of Sunset Hollow is the airport about a mile outside of town proper, and then only if you know the way. The Terra Incognitae was established by the combined magics of the local Puckwidgie population, paired with non-native Satyr, nymphs, and other nature spirits. They were concerned when whole-scale logging began to destroy the woods around them, and wanted to preserve what they could of the untamed beauty around them. The Mausoleum Woods don’t discourage people from settling, but attempts at land clearing on any scale beyond space for a single house or cottage always seem to meet with disaster. People with a taste for solitude and living off the untamed land flocked to the Mausoleum Woods in the types of numbers that those sorts of people always flock in: that is to say, they came in a trickle. It took 100 years for it to become the sort of settlement that could properly be considered a town, and many of those residents still maintain huge spaces between houses. Point of fact, Sunset Hollow occupies a footprint, so far as such can be measured in the wonky wobbly space of Mausoleum Woods, as a town four times its population. And it isn’t just humans living in the Woods. Not just the Puckwidgie and associated forest-folk, either. In the last few years, Sunset Hollow, small as it is, has seen an influx of the types of creatures that don’t necessarily fit with typical scientific taxonomy. The local bartender is a Satyr. A Cyclopes works in the lumber yard, and not just as labor, but as an expert in her craft. A werewolf teaches fourth grade, and doubles as a tennis coach for the high school girls. Still, it has all the amenities that one would need. A grocery store that is always stocked up on local elk venison. A box store with a breakfast counter, both stocked by a weekly supply plane from closest-town Wausau. Separate elementary and secondary schools, a hospital with an attached clinic, and a sporting goods store that does a brisk business all year round. There’s a bar, too. More than one, actually, and each have their regulars that claim there is really only one bar in town. There’s even a small hotel. The Northbranch Lodge is new, built on the hill beside the airport, with six rooms and a conference hall that wouldn’t be out of placec in a much larger city. It was built by Madison Lexington just a few months ago to accommodate the influx of people coming to Sunset Hollow now. Ah, I see the question before you even ask it. Why would there be an influx of people coming to Sunset Hollow? This seems like the sort of community that values its privacy. You’d be right, but you’d also be forgetting about Madison Lexington. Lexie to her friends. Madison Lexington made a name for herself in certain circles of society as a supernatural investigator and problem solver. You may have heard of her. She solved that serpent cult problem in Louisiana, and sent those Angels in Abu Dhabi back where they came from. She, and her small band of co-adventurers, used to make their home in New York, where they became something of celebrities. Maybe not household names, but enough magazine covers that certain people might have gotten a bit tired of seeing their faces. No one has all the details but probably Madison and her cohorts, but something happened in their home of New York. Some say it was vampires, others say it was gods. One of her group is a known son of Agni, and at least a few of the rumors were that Agni was not happy with how they handled something in particular. Lots of theories, not a lot of facts, honestly. But whatever happened, Lexie and her group needed to get out of dodge and find someplace to lay low. They’d run across Sunset Hollow at some point in their travels, and felt like it was the perfect place to blow off some of the heat they’d acquired. Lexie was flush with cash from both her legitimate businesses, and, some say, manipulating markets with her magic. Lexie is a witch, afterall. Seven years ago, they moved to Sunset Hollow. For the first three of those years, they simply laid low and built themselves a life in the tiny town. After that, they began taking jobs again. About eleven months ago, one of the werewolves in Mausoleum Woods stumbled across a doorway. A Gateway somewhere in the middle of the Midrealm. On the other side of that Gateway? A city. Domed, in ruins, and overgrown with moss and vines and trees everywhere. But the lights were still on. Lexie and her crew investigated, but quickly came to discover that the City was not entirely without inhabitants. People trapped there, living lives of misery and scarcity, kept there by jailors made out of the material of the city itself. They got out a handful of the trapped people, fighting against raptors made from vines and hunched guards made of the very brick and mortar of the walls the whole way. It became clear, very quickly, that what they had found was bigger than just what the few of them could handle. The call went out, through whatever means they could utilize, to bring capable people to Sunset Hollow to set to the task of exploring the city, liberating her captives, and, in some cases, dealing with the other… problems… Madison so readily shoulders when she hears a tale of sorrow. Is that you? Do you want to help? Feel like freeing some people from topiary vultures? Wanna be a hero? === For the bureaucrat(s) of this wiki === Hello, and welcome to your new wiki!

Not so small that meeting someone new is an unusual experience, but small enough that you expect to be on a first name basis with the old man on the check-out at the grocery store who only does the job because he’s bored in retirement. It sits in the middle of 100 miles of untouched, untamed ancient-growth forest somewhere in northern Wisconsin called Mausoleum Woods. Exactly where is hard to pinpoint, because the hundred miles of forest only take up about a mile and a half of actual map space. You see, Mausoleum Woods is a Terra Incognitae. A Midrealm. A space of mystical power that not so much breaks the laws of reality as simply writes its own laws and pays more attention to those than the ones we care about. There are no roads into or out of Mausoleum Woods, and the river that cuts through the middle of it doesn’t connect to any of the hundreds of rivers in the rest of northern Wisconsin. The only way into or out of Sunset Hollow is the airport about a mile outside of town proper, and then only if you know the way. [[File:Untamed Forest.jpg|thumb]] The Terra Incognitae was established by the combined magics of the local Puckwidgie population, paired with non-native Satyr, nymphs, and other nature spirits. They were concerned when whole-scale logging began to destroy the woods around them, and wanted to preserve what they could of the untamed beauty around them. The Mausoleum Woods don’t discourage people from settling, but attempts at land clearing on any scale beyond space for a single house or cottage always seem to meet with disaster. People with a taste for solitude and living off the untamed land flocked to the Mausoleum Woods in the types of numbers that those sorts of people always flock in: that is to say, they came in a trickle. It took 100 years for it to become the sort of settlement that could properly be considered a town, and many of those residents still maintain huge spaces between houses. Point of fact, Sunset Hollow occupies a footprint, so far as such can be measured in the wonky wobbly space of Mausoleum Woods, as a town four times its population. And it isn’t just humans living in the Woods. Not just the Puckwidgie and associated forest-folk, either. In the last few years, Sunset Hollow, small as it is, has seen an influx of the types of creatures that don’t necessarily fit with typical scientific taxonomy. The local bartender is a Satyr. A Cyclopes works in the lumber yard, and not just as labor, but as an expert in her craft. A werewolf teaches fourth grade, and doubles as a tennis coach for the high school girls. Still, it has all the amenities that one would need. A grocery store that is always stocked up on local elk venison. A box store with a breakfast counter, both stocked by a weekly supply plane from closest-town Wausau. Separate elementary and secondary schools, a hospital with an attached clinic, and a sporting goods store that does a brisk business all year round. There’s a bar, too. More than one, actually, and each have their regulars that claim there is really only one bar in town. [[File:Cabin.jpg|thumb]] There’s even a small hotel. The Northbranch Lodge is new, built on the hill beside the airport, with six rooms and a conference hall that wouldn’t be out of placec in a much larger city. It was built by Madison Lexington just a few months ago to accommodate the influx of people coming to Sunset Hollow now. Ah, I see the question before you even ask it. Why would there be an influx of people coming to Sunset Hollow? This seems like the sort of community that values its privacy. You’d be right, but you’d also be forgetting about Madison Lexington. Lexie to her friends. [[File:Lexie.jpg|thumb]] Madison Lexington made a name for herself in certain circles of society as a supernatural investigator and problem solver. You may have heard of her. She solved that serpent cult problem in Louisiana, and sent those Angels in Abu Dhabi back where they came from. She, and her small band of co-adventurers, used to make their home in New York, where they became something of celebrities. Maybe not household names, but enough magazine covers that certain people might have gotten a bit tired of seeing their faces. No one has all the details but probably Madison and her cohorts, but something happened in their home of New York. Some say it was vampires, others say it was gods. One of her group is a known son of Agni, and at least a few of the rumors were that Agni was not happy with how they handled something in particular. Lots of theories, not a lot of facts, honestly. But whatever happened, Lexie and her group needed to get out of dodge and find someplace to lay low. They’d run across Sunset Hollow at some point in their travels, and felt like it was the perfect place to blow off some of the heat they’d acquired. Lexie was flush with cash from both her legitimate businesses, and, some say, manipulating markets with her magic. Lexie is a witch, afterall. Seven years ago, they moved to Sunset Hollow. For the first three of those years, they simply laid low and built themselves a life in the tiny town. After that, they began taking jobs again. About eleven months ago, one of the werewolves in Mausoleum Woods stumbled across a doorway. A Gateway somewhere in the middle of the Midrealm. On the other side of that Gateway? [[File:The City.jpg|thumb]] A city. Domed, in ruins, and overgrown with moss and vines and trees everywhere. But the lights were still on. Lexie and her crew investigated, but quickly came to discover that the City was not entirely without inhabitants. People trapped there, living lives of misery and scarcity, kept there by jailors made out of the material of the city itself. They got out a handful of the trapped people, fighting against raptors made from vines and hunched guards made of the very brick and mortar of the walls the whole way. It became clear, very quickly, that what they had found was bigger than just what the few of them could handle. The call went out, through whatever means they could utilize, to bring capable people to Sunset Hollow to set to the task of exploring the city, liberating her captives, and, in some cases, dealing with the other… problems… Madison so readily shoulders when she hears a tale of sorrow. Is that you? Do you want to help? Feel like freeing some people from topiary vultures? Wanna be a hero? === For the bureaucrat(s) of this wiki === Hello, and welcome to your new wiki!

In the last few years, Sunset Hollow, small as it is, has seen an influx of the types of creatures that don’t necessarily fit with typical scientific taxonomy. The local bartender is a Satyr. A Cyclopes works in the lumber yard, and not just as labor, but as an expert in her craft. A werewolf teaches fourth grade, and doubles as a tennis coach for the high school girls. Still, it has all the amenities that one would need. A grocery store that is always stocked up on local elk venison. A box store with a breakfast counter, both stocked by a weekly supply plane from closest-town Wausau. Separate elementary and secondary schools, a hospital with an attached clinic, and a sporting goods store that does a brisk business all year round. There’s a bar, too. More than one, actually, and each have their regulars that claim there is really only one bar in town. [[File:Cabin.jpg|thumb]] There’s even a small hotel. The Northbranch Lodge is new, built on the hill beside the airport, with six rooms and a conference hall that wouldn’t be out of placec in a much larger city. It was built by [[Madison Lexington]] just a few months ago to accommodate the influx of people coming to Sunset Hollow now. Ah, I see the question before you even ask it. Why would there be an influx of people coming to Sunset Hollow? This seems like the sort of community that values its privacy. You’d be right, but you’d also be forgetting about Madison Lexington. Lexie to her friends. == Madison Lexington == [[File:Lexie.jpg|thumb]] Madison Lexington made a name for herself in certain circles of society as a supernatural investigator and problem solver. You may have heard of her. She solved that serpent cult problem in Louisiana, and sent those Angels in Abu Dhabi back where they came from. She, and her small band of co-adventurers, used to make their home in New York, where they became something of celebrities. Maybe not household names, but enough magazine covers that certain people might have gotten a bit tired of seeing their faces. No one has all the details but probably Madison and her cohorts, but something happened in their home of New York. Some say it was vampires, others say it was gods. One of her group is a known son of Agni, and at least a few of the rumors were that Agni was not happy with how they handled something in particular. Lots of theories, not a lot of facts, honestly. But whatever happened, Lexie and her group needed to get out of dodge and find someplace to lay low. They’d run across Sunset Hollow at some point in their travels, and felt like it was the perfect place to blow off some of the heat they’d acquired. Lexie was flush with cash from both her legitimate businesses, and, some say, manipulating markets with her magic. Lexie is a witch, afterall. Seven years ago, they moved to Sunset Hollow. For the first three of those years, they simply laid low and built themselves a life in the tiny town. After that, they began taking jobs again. About eleven months ago, one of the werewolves in Mausoleum Woods stumbled across a doorway. A Gateway somewhere in the middle of the Midrealm. On the other side of that Gateway? == The City == [[File:The City.jpg|thumb]] A city. Domed, in ruins, and overgrown with moss and vines and trees everywhere. But the lights were still on. Lexie and her crew investigated, but quickly came to discover that the City was not entirely without inhabitants.

They got out a handful of the trapped people, fighting against raptors made from vines and hunched guards made of the very brick and mortar of the walls the whole way. It became clear, very quickly, that what they had found was bigger than just what the few of them could handle. The call went out, through whatever means they could utilize, to bring capable people to Sunset Hollow to set to the task of exploring the city, liberating her captives, and, in some cases, dealing with the other… problems… Madison so readily shoulders when she hears a tale of sorrow.

Not so small that meeting someone new is an unusual experience, but small enough that you expect to be on a first name basis with the old man on the check-out at the grocery store who only does the job because he’s bored in retirement. It sits in the middle of 100 miles of untouched, untamed ancient-growth forest somewhere in northern Wisconsin called Mausoleum Woods. Exactly where is hard to pinpoint, because the hundred miles of forest only take up about a mile and a half of actual map space. You see, Mausoleum Woods is a Terra Incognitae. A Midrealm. A space of mystical power that not so much breaks the laws of reality as simply writes its own laws and pays more attention to those than the ones we care about. There are no roads into or out of Mausoleum Woods, and the river that cuts through the middle of it doesn’t connect to any of the hundreds of rivers in the rest of northern Wisconsin. The only way into or out of Sunset Hollow is the airport about a mile outside of town proper, and then only if you know the way. [[File:Untamed Forest.jpg|thumb]] The Terra Incognitae was established by the combined magics of the local Puckwidgie population, paired with non-native Satyr, nymphs, and other nature spirits. They were concerned when whole-scale logging began to destroy the woods around them, and wanted to preserve what they could of the untamed beauty around them. The Mausoleum Woods don’t discourage people from settling, but attempts at land clearing on any scale beyond space for a single house or cottage always seem to meet with disaster. == The Town == People with a taste for solitude and living off the untamed land flocked to the Mausoleum Woods in the types of numbers that those sorts of people always flock in: that is to say, they came in a trickle. It took 100 years for it to become the sort of settlement that could properly be considered a town, and many of those residents still maintain huge spaces between houses. Point of fact, Sunset Hollow occupies a footprint, so far as such can be measured in the wonky wobbly space of Mausoleum Woods, as a town four times its population. And it isn’t just humans living in the Woods. Not just the Puckwidgie and associated forest-folk, either. In the last few years, Sunset Hollow, small as it is, has seen an influx of the types of creatures that don’t necessarily fit with typical scientific taxonomy. The local bartender is a Satyr.

She is also the leading investor in most of the expansions to [[Sunset Hollow]] in the last few years. ==History== Lexie was born to a very wealthy family, having made their money in the late part of the 20th Century in Real Estate and Manufacturing. And while she was born and kept her home in New York City, she spent her formative years traveling all over the world. Her first brush with fame was when she, as a teenage girl, became the subject of an E! Network Reality show about her travels and adventures. She was notable among the crop of reality stars in that her focus was mostly philanthropic and humanitarian, instead of pure consumerism. She would find causes, donate money and time, and visit them to follow up on results. It made her feel good, and the reach it provided to the causes was invaluable. During one of her philanthropic trips for the show, she was helping renovate several favelas in Rio de Janeiro, installing plumbing and electricity. She and her producers had done a very poor job of researching the situation, and Madison found herself taken at gunpoint by a criminal organization that considered itself the "owners" of the favela. The footage of the kidnapping was broadcast and shared all over the world. She remained missing for 17 days after her kidnapping, and at the end of the 17 days, she simply walked into the American Consulate and said she'd escaped. When she told authorities where she'd been held, the police investigated, but found the location completely deserted. The organization responsible for Lexie's kidnapping has never surfaced again. They have simply disappeared. A documentary was produced about Madison's kidnapping and escape, but Madison did not have anything to do with it. In the months and years following her escape, she became a complete recluse. The documentary gave the facts, those that existed, about the situation, and then veered heavily into speculation on what had happened. These theories were aided by the fact that in her one public statement, through an agent she fired just a few weeks later, Madison stated that she'd had a "spiritual awakening" while being held captive, and that she needed time to explore herself in the new world she found herself in. Two years of isolation and hiding after her kidnapping and subsequent escape, Madison Lexington reappeared on the public scene. A news organization in Russia broke the story, but it was carried all over the world. Lexie, along with several other individuals, had broken up a child trafficking ring, and the captured traffickers referred to her as a witch. In a public statement, released through her new agent [[Claudia Wylde]], Madison acknowledged that she had begun to study witchcraft, and was dedicated to using it to make the world a better place. In the five years that followed, Madison and the group that had come to be called the Cadre made news time and again for dealing with supernatural problems. In 2015, something happened. No one has all the details except Lexie and the Cadre. They were forced to abandon New York City as a home base, and disappeared for several years. For three years, they simply disappeared off the face of the Earth.

In the years that followed, she has used her influence and money to get people to move to Sunset Hollow to help deal with the humanitarian crisis she has discovered. ==Quotes about Madison Lexington== "Text of the Quote" - '''''Person Quoted''''' 2fa92bcdc9d2229fb74f68cddd4c0806b1f217ac 0 9 20 2023-03-05T04:31:13Z BeylaDawn 2 Created page with "[[Northbranch Lodge]] [[Choppers Bar and Grill]] [[Sunset Hollow Elementary School]] [[Helvig's Family Bakery]] [[Sunset Hollow Junior and Senior High]] [[Honeysuckle Park]] [[Koa's Poke Diner]] [[The One Horse Bar]] [[Sunset Hollow Police Station]] [[Sunset Hollow Public Library]] [[Mausoleum Woods Medical Center]] [[Lexington House]] [[WFTE 107.1 FM Radio]]" wikitext text/x-wiki [[Northbranch Lodge]] [[Choppers Bar and Grill]] [[Sunset Hollow Elementary School]] [[Helvig's Family Bakery]] [[Sunset Hollow Junior and Senior High]] [[Honeysuckle Park]] [[Koa's Poke Diner]] [[The One Horse Bar]] [[Sunset Hollow Police Station]] [[Sunset Hollow Public Library]] [[Mausoleum Woods Medical Center]] [[Lexington House]] [[WFTE 107.1 FM Radio]] 7643ceae4f8dec76a73996d99f695aea622e58e7 21 20 2023-03-05T14:58:11Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[Northbranch Lodge]] [[Choppers Bar and Grill]] [[Sunset Hollow Elementary School]] [[Helvig's Family Bakery]] [[Sunset Hollow Junior and Senior High]] [[Honeysuckle Park]] [[Kalea's Poke Diner]] [[The One Horse Bar]] [[Sunset Hollow Police Station]] [[Sunset Hollow Public Library]] [[Mausoleum Woods Medical Center]] [[Lexington House]] [[WFTE 107.1 FM Radio]] 17173b4c7cbd66484205922a7131ac0caf5495a6 0 10 22 2023-03-05T15:17:07Z BeylaDawn 2 Created page with "===Madison Lexington's Cadre of Adventurers=== [[Madison Lexington]] - The leader of the Cadre, a witch [[Claudia Wylde]] - The social media and business face of the Cadre.

Responsible for media presence, promotion, and finances, she is the backbone of the Cadre's ability to keep opperating. ==History== Little is known about Claudia before her attachment to Madison became public knowledge. Sure, everyone can find the details. She grew up in Birmingham in Alabama. She went to the University of Miami where she received a Masters in Business Law. She paid for college by acting as a model, a fact that got her kicked off of the Hurricanes Cheer Squad. After school, she moved around, mostly on the East Coast, working up the ladder at various legal practices. She wasn't Madison Lexington-rich, by any means, but she was very well-off. What isn't known is how she met Madison, became hired as her Agent, or became embroiled in her adventuring. For several years, an active effort was made to hide that Claudia was actually participating in the adventures that the Cadre would go on. She was kept separate: a mouthpiece and legal representation. That all changed when, during a mission in Dubai where the Cadre dealt with a death cult that was brainwashing and kidnapping teenage girls and young mothers. The entire Cadre was arrested for the death of the cult leader, but legal filings indicated that Claudia was the shooter that killed him, while the rest were merely listed as celebrities. After that, the pretense that Claudia was not an active participant was abandoned. Speculation has followed Claudia and Madison for almost as long as they've been publicly tied together. Acute observers noticed little looks, touches, and interactions between the Famous Witch and her agent, and theories that they were dating began to spread online. And while no official acknowledgement has ever been made by either party, they are somewhat obvious about their relationship now. To the point that they share a home in Sunset Hollow. It is further speculated that the relationship between the two was the source of the Cadre having to leave New York City. Claudia had a brief affair, before she became associated with Lexington, with a lawyer in New York that later turned out to be a Scion of a God from the Kami. This lawyer had significant and public ties to the Japanese Organized Crime organizations in New York. Around the time that the Cadre fled to Sunset Hollow, a video was live-broadcast showing, briefly, Claudia at dinner, holding hands with Lexie. This Lawyer arrived at the restaurant and made quite a scene. Whether that was the impetus for the change of venue or not, Claudia retreated to Sunset Hollow with the rest of the Cadre. Claudia has begun working as an agent again for her only clients, and is actively working to raise the profile of the situation there. ==Quotes about Claudia Wylde== "Quote Text." - '''''Person Quoted''''' 449bf00065948e434080a9e076687465b0313ea5 31 30 2023-03-06T00:45:06Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Claudia.jpg|thumb]] ==Overview== '''Name''' - Claudia Wylde '''Pronouns''' - She/Her '''Apparent Age''' - Early-to-mid thirties Claudia Black is the Agent and Business Manager for [[Madison Lexington]].

Madison had a friend who was looking to get out of the hot and heavy New York restaurant scene and just run a kitchen again, and she invited Kalea to Sunset Hollow to take over the location. Kalea's Poke Diner opens just after 4:30 pm on week nights, allowing for Kalea's favorite staff, local high school students, to get from school to work. On weekends, she stays open pretty much from 4:30 pm Friday until "whenever," according to the sign. She prefers high school students, because she likes their attitudes and likes putting money in their pockets. Also, she's sort of still a teenager at heart, and they make her feel young. The menu at Kalea's is an eclectic, and ever changing, mix of food intentionally not stepping on the toes of the other eateries in Sunset Hollow. And Kalea likes her food weird. What that means is that, while you can still get a classic burger at Kalea's, it will always be odd. One week, it may have oyster sauce on top of it, and the next the buns are cake donuts from [[Helvig's Family Bakery]]. And of course there is the poke. Where Kalea is getting the fresh fish to make her signature dishes with, no one knows. But Poke has become something of a town favorite due to her proficiency. ----- Back to [[Locations]] 140cd3c2ddc7458143950ca275c73f2ae01abae7 6 33 67 2023-03-13T18:51:37Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki One Horse Bar 02771e17b636652fa3ad78151c23ae431e46c3ec 0 34 68 2023-03-13T18:57:50Z BeylaDawn 2 Created page with "[[File:One Horse.jpg|thumb]] The One Horse Bar is the brain-child of [[Calipiri]], a Satyr that has lived and worked in Sunset Hollow for years.

Rumor has it that the break-up was over the menu of the restaurant portion of the bar. The One Horse Bar has gone out of its way to present the affectation of being a dive bar, without any of the draw backs. It wants you to feel like you're walking into your second home when you walk in. It wants you to have "your booth" or "your stool." To that end, Calipiri tries very hard to remember the name of every person who's ever walked into her establishment. And she succeeds more often than not. The menu is mostly elevated bar food, like everything nachos, individual pizzas, and sliders that are, quite frankly, to die for. Many new people to town don't understand the deep enmity between The One Horse Bar and Chopper's, and step in the shit, so to speak, when they start talking about one around the people of the other. Calipiri is notorious for sending spies into Chopper's to discover what their drink specials are, and then undercutting them as best she can. ----- Back to [[Locations]] 92dc9d7e67cf486961c49748750fb86f0f401c81 0 9 69 21 2023-03-13T19:00:39Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[Northbranch Lodge]] [[Choppers Bar and Grill]] [[Sunset Hollow Elementary School]] [[Helvig's Family Bakery]] [[Sunset Hollow Junior and Senior High]] [[Honeysuckle Park]] [[Kalea's Poke Diner]] [[The One Horse Bar]] [[Sunset Hollow Sheriff Station]] [[Sunset Hollow Public Library]] [[Mausoleum Woods Medical Center]] [[Lexington House]] [[WFTE 107.1 FM Radio]] 6904fa8191ed86cb0f6ee19cb8bbb1a166ef33e4 70 69 2023-03-13T19:01:35Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[Northbranch Lodge]] [[Choppers Bar and Grill]] [[Sunset Hollow Elementary School]] [[Helvig's Family Bakery]] [[Sunset Hollow Junior and Senior High]] [[Honeysuckle Park]] [[Kalea's Poke Diner]] [[The One Horse Bar]] [[The Cadi]] [[Sunset Hollow Public Library]] [[Mausoleum Woods Medical Center]] [[Lexington House]] [[WFTE 107.1 FM Radio]] 8cc0eab960191d4f37345aafb8cc5d22f5c763ff 6 35 71 2023-03-13T19:02:03Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki The Cadi 3d38c9dbda10b9cc78dae503182cadf023f5b61e 0 36 72 2023-03-13T19:09:26Z BeylaDawn 2 Created page with "[[File:Sheriff Station.jpg|thumb]] In the 1980's, a Sunset Hollow man named Reuben Godfrey thought it would be the most brilliant idea in the world to set up a Cadillac dealership in town.

Sunset Hollow is a town notorious for not having any actual roads into or out of it. And while it isn't unusual for someone in Sunset Hollow to own a car to get around town, or to take the trails out into the Mausoleum Woods, a Cadillac is not exactly the type of car that is the first choice for transportation. The Godfrey Motors Cadillac Dealership lasted two long, always hurting years, and then closed down (with an everything-must-go sale that did... very little to recoup the costs for Reuben). Enter the Sunset Hollow Sheriff Department. In 1998, after record snowfall, the roof on the police station caved in. In looking for a temporary home for the Police Station, they decided to move into the old Cadillac Dealership building. By then, all of the letters for the word "Cadillac" had fallen from the building, save for the first four. The building gained the nickname "the Cadi" soon after. In the 25 years since then, no effort has been made to move out of the Cadi, and it is more-or-less recognized as the permanent home of the local Sheriff's deputies. The Sheriff of Sunset Hollow is [[Oslo Harleson]], though it is heavily rumored that Oslo is grooming his grandson, [[Blake Thompson]] to take his place very soon. ----- Back to [[Locations]] d62426a9ec413666efcba5499cad12f8063bbacc 6 37 73 2023-03-13T19:16:37Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki Sunset Hollow Public Library 3628706e7a4d63f656ef4942195ee077f17d877f 0 38 74 2023-03-13T19:25:33Z BeylaDawn 2 Created page with "[[File:Library.jpg|thumb]] The Sunset Hollow Public Library is honestly probably a bit larger than it needs to be for a town the size of Sunset Hollow.

In recent months, temporary housing and trailers have been set up on the massive lawn of the Lexington House: a place for the refugees from the [[City]] to live while more permanent housing can be found for them. ----- Back to [[Locations]] bc5f9430b48c85adac6974af1e984a5a17954e64 6 43 81 2023-03-13T19:44:32Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki a Mic in WFTE 107.1 FM 863efd0a93915dd2a8febed6e78e54fea289d1c0 0 44 82 2023-03-13T19:51:46Z BeylaDawn 2 Created page with "[[File:Radio Mic.jpg|thumb]] The nature of the Terra Incognita of Mausoleum Woods makes getting a signal from most radio stations very difficult.

In the 1950's, WFTE 107.1 was established as a short-wave radio station to serve the surrounding area. There are other radio stations being broadcast out of small buildings or even homes in Sunset Hollow, but WFTE has the distinction of being somewhat Divinely Significant. For reasons no one understands, WFTE bleeds out of Mausoleum Woods in a way that no other station does, allowing it to be heard elsewhere outside the Terra Incognita. WFTE coming in on the radio is often the first clue a seeker has that they're getting close to the recluse town of Sunset Hollow. Currently, WFTE has one DJ that is on the air pretty much 24/7. [[Jun Hisame]] takes very few breaks, and keeps the very eclectic mix of music that 107.1 has become known for "spinning" as well as she can. She doesn't exactly have the best voice for radio, but she has become something of an institution. She takes requests all day every day, and if you happen to deliver your request with a bit of food (Jun loves the bear claws from [[Helvig's Family Bakery]] even though she never gets to go herself), you can be sure you'll hear your song very quickly. One more notable thing about WFTE 107.1 FM: the FCC has never been able to find them, and thus, Jun gets away with playing unedited music over the airwaves. There is, in fact, a small task force set up within the FCC to find and shut down this little station, but to date, they've been unsuccessful. ----- Back to [[Locations]] c5cdce4d2ea4eee45c4f83c0236e1e168d39cb2e 0 8 83 27 2023-03-13T19:54:36Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Lexie.jpg|thumb]] ==Overview== '''Name''' - Madison "Lexie" Lexington '''Pronouns''' - She/Her '''Apparent Age''' - Mid-to-late Thirties '''Callings''' - Leader, Lover, Sage Madison Lexington is a famous witch who lives in Sunset Hollow. She leads a group of adventurers, called [[Lexie's Cadre]], who solve supernatural problems throughout the world. She and the Cadre found [[The City]] in the Tera Incognitae of [[Mausoleum Woods]], and she is the leading force behind the efforts to explore it and save the people within it. She is also the leading investor in most of the expansions to [[Sunset Hollow]] in the last few years. ==History== Lexie was born to a very wealthy family, having made their money in the late part of the 20th Century in Real Estate and Manufacturing. And while she was born and kept her home in New York City, she spent her formative years traveling all over the world. Her first brush with fame was when she, as a teenage girl, became the subject of an E! Network Reality show about her travels and adventures. She was notable among the crop of reality stars in that her focus was mostly philanthropic and humanitarian, instead of pure consumerism. She would find causes, donate money and time, and visit them to follow up on results. It made her feel good, and the reach it provided to the causes was invaluable. During one of her philanthropic trips for the show, she was helping renovate several favelas in Rio de Janeiro, installing plumbing and electricity. She and her producers had done a very poor job of researching the situation, and Madison found herself taken at gunpoint by a criminal organization that considered itself the "owners" of the favela. The footage of the kidnapping was broadcast and shared all over the world. She remained missing for 17 days after her kidnapping, and at the end of the 17 days, she simply walked into the American Consulate and said she'd escaped. When she told authorities where she'd been held, the police investigated, but found the location completely deserted. The organization responsible for Lexie's kidnapping has never surfaced again. They have simply disappeared. A documentary was produced about Madison's kidnapping and escape, but Madison did not have anything to do with it. In the months and years following her escape, she became a complete recluse. The documentary gave the facts, those that existed, about the situation, and then veered heavily into speculation on what had happened. These theories were aided by the fact that in her one public statement, through an agent she fired just a few weeks later, Madison stated that she'd had a "spiritual awakening" while being held captive, and that she needed time to explore herself in the new world she found herself in. Two years of isolation and hiding after her kidnapping and subsequent escape, Madison Lexington reappeared on the public scene. A news organization in Russia broke the story, but it was carried all over the world. Lexie, along with several other individuals, had broken up a child trafficking ring, and the captured traffickers referred to her as a witch. In a public statement, released through her new agent [[Claudia Wylde]], Madison acknowledged that she had begun to study witchcraft, and was dedicated to using it to make the world a better place. In the five years that followed, Madison and the group that had come to be called the Cadre made news time and again for dealing with supernatural problems. In 2015, something happened. No one has all the details except Lexie and the Cadre. They were forced to abandon New York City as a home base, and disappeared for several years. For three years, they simply disappeared off the face of the Earth. For the first few months, rumors ran rampant about what had happened and where they were. When they emerged, it was a subtle thing. Small jobs, little tasks. Much more motivated by Lexie's desire to actually help people. In the years that followed, she has used her influence and money to get people to move to Sunset Hollow to help deal with the humanitarian crisis she has discovered. ==Quotes about Madison Lexington== "Text of the Quote" - '''''Person Quoted''''' 781aa1fd76efcbe4eff021d49729539dda687a43 84 83 2023-03-13T19:55:39Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Lexie.jpg|thumb]] ==Overview== '''Name''' - Madison "Lexie" Lexington '''Pronouns''' - She/Her '''Apparent Age''' - Mid-to-late Thirties '''Callings''' - Leader, Lover, Sage Madison Lexington is a famous witch who lives in Sunset Hollow.

Responsible for media presence, promotion, and finances, she is the backbone of the Cadre's ability to keep opperating. ==History== Little is known about Claudia before her attachment to Madison became public knowledge. Sure, everyone can find the details. She grew up in Birmingham in Alabama. She went to the University of Miami where she received a Masters in Business Law. She paid for college by acting as a model, a fact that got her kicked off of the Hurricanes Cheer Squad. After school, she moved around, mostly on the East Coast, working up the ladder at various legal practices. She wasn't Madison Lexington-rich, by any means, but she was very well-off. What isn't known is how she met Madison, became hired as her Agent, or became embroiled in her adventuring. For several years, an active effort was made to hide that Claudia was actually participating in the adventures that the Cadre would go on. She was kept separate: a mouthpiece and legal representation. That all changed when, during a mission in Dubai where the Cadre dealt with a death cult that was brainwashing and kidnapping teenage girls and young mothers. The entire Cadre was arrested for the death of the cult leader, but legal filings indicated that Claudia was the shooter that killed him, while the rest were merely listed as celebrities. After that, the pretense that Claudia was not an active participant was abandoned. Speculation has followed Claudia and Madison for almost as long as they've been publicly tied together. Acute observers noticed little looks, touches, and interactions between the Famous Witch and her agent, and theories that they were dating began to spread online. And while no official acknowledgement has ever been made by either party, they are somewhat obvious about their relationship now. To the point that they share a home in Sunset Hollow. It is further speculated that the relationship between the two was the source of the Cadre having to leave New York City. Claudia had a brief affair, before she became associated with Lexington, with a lawyer in New York that later turned out to be a Scion of a God from the Kami. This lawyer had significant and public ties to the Japanese Organized Crime organizations in New York. Around the time that the Cadre fled to Sunset Hollow, a video was live-broadcast showing, briefly, Claudia at dinner, holding hands with Lexie. This Lawyer arrived at the restaurant and made quite a scene. Whether that was the impetus for the change of venue or not, Claudia retreated to Sunset Hollow with the rest of the Cadre. Claudia has begun working as an agent again for her only clients, and is actively working to raise the profile of the situation there. ==Quotes about Claudia Wylde== "Quote Text." - '''''Person Quoted''''' ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] c6628fc83685fc20354468888ebfe86fff880744 88 86 2023-03-13T19:58:34Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Claudia.jpg|thumb]] ==Overview== '''Name''' - Claudia Wylde '''Pronouns''' - She/Her '''Apparent Age''' - Early-to-mid thirties '''Callings''' - Guardian, Lover, Trickster Claudia Black is the Agent and Business Manager for [[Madison Lexington]].

'''Callings''' - Guardian, Sage, Warrior Aamir Balakrishan is an adventurer associated with the [[Cadre]] led by [[Madison Lexington]]. He is a known and public Scion of Durga, and currently the head (and chief financier) of the Sunset Hollow Historical Society. ==History== Aamir had no idea of his own parentage for most of his life. He grew up as an orphan in the very overcrowded Social Services of Dehli, with no idea where he came from. The fact that his given surname was Balakrishan likely means that at least one of his parents was from Southern India, immigrated to the United States, and then returned. He was adopted a half dozen times from the age of three until he finally aged out at eighteen, but none of them took firmly. He gained a reputation among the Child Services worker for getting into fights. It did not matter, to most of the people making note of Aamir's fighting, that most of the fights he got into were standing up for other children who could not do so. Aamir transitioned to University early, and found it an excellent fit. He quickly advanced and got a legal degree. He competed in intercollegiate wrestling and rugby while there. After University, he used his legal degree to get a job with the Central Armed Police Forces. It was while responding to a routine domestic call in a tenement in Dehli that Aamir had his Visitation. At least, according to his own accounts. The domestic call turned into something much more violent and involved. With no backup, largely due to the intervention of Aamir's divine parent Durga, Aamir was able to save the lives of thirty four hostages single-handedly. For his service, he was awarded the Medal for Gallantry. After that, he was recruited to the 51 SAG as part of the Special Action Group. For four years he worked in counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism. How he met [[Madison Lexington]] is a story neither have told in public to date, but there are reports that Lexie spent some time working as a consultant for the SAG during a particularly Mythological Situation involving over-aggressive Griffon Vultures. Aamir is a well-known, if somewhat situational pacificist. A fact that has somewhat, at least by his account, created some tension between his Divine mother and himself. Aamir would rather resolve conflict via words and cooperation than violence. Still, he's not above throwing the occasional fist here and there in defense of the Cadre, and when lives are in danger. It is this tendency, however, that rumors latch on to to explain why Aamir and the rest of the Cadre had to leave New York. The rumor states that Madison and the Cadre found a compromise with someone or something, meaning no violence was needed. And that something or someone turned around and hurt a lot of people. Durga was particularly mad at her son, and the heat from an annoyed Deva was the reason they had to find a hidden Terra Incognita to disappear to. Aamir currently works as the curator of the very small Sunset Hollow Historical Society. He is still very much an amature when it comes to the history of the region and mostly relies on the work of his few employees, but he's learning. And diving in with gusto. He, by all reports, is enjoying his relatively quiet life of reading and researching. ==Quotes about Aamir Balakrishan== "Text of the Quote" - '''''Person Quoted''''' ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] 75de3d4846c1fe2fd107da6d32487cdf6fad191e 6 45 93 2023-03-13T20:40:18Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki Virginia Neal bd7be292aeb307f0157e971208ce1a0939532a8c 0 46 94 2023-03-13T20:55:07Z BeylaDawn 2 Created page with "[[File:Virginia.jpg|thumb]] Virginia Neal is an adventurer associated with the [[Cadre]] of [[Madison Lexington]].

A lengthy legal battle, carried internationally, revealed not only that the three women had broken up a child trafficking ring, but that the ring had connections, and were receiving protection, from Russian Authorities. They later appeared, this time accompanied by Aamir Blakrishan, dealing with a situation in under-funded slums in Dehli, where the large griffon vulture population was being weaponized to steal young women off the streets. They quickly rose to fame, adding the last member Yasenia Santiago, over the next few years. More fame than most adventuring circles gain, owed mostly to Madison Lexington already being quite famous, and the fact that Claudia Wylde was very aggressive with promotion of the group's activities.

He is a life-long resident who was named a deputy under the old Sheriff, and when the old Sheriff retired, Oslo was elevated. Oslo Harleson is a very calm, very hands-off sort of man. He does most of his work over a cup of coffee and a pastry from [[Helvig's Family Bakery]], talking things through and working for a compromise. Famously, he doesn't even carry a firearm or handcuffs on his person. He brags that in his fifty seven years of law enforcement, the only time he's ever had to use a weapon on another living creature was when a wolf was stealing chickens from the Helvig's egg pens.

'''Name''' - Oslo Peter Harleson '''Pronouns''' - He/Him '''Apparent Age''' - Late Seventies '''Callings''' - Guardian, Healer, Leader ==History== Sheriff Oslo has been the chief law enforcement officer for Sunset Hollow and all of Mausoleum Woods for forty five years, give or take. He is a life-long resident who was named a deputy under the old Sheriff, and when the old Sheriff retired, Oslo was elevated. Oslo Harleson is a very calm, very hands-off sort of man. He does most of his work over a cup of coffee and a pastry from [[Helvig's Family Bakery]], talking things through and working for a compromise. Famously, he doesn't even carry a firearm or handcuffs on his person. He brags that in his fifty seven years of law enforcement, the only time he's ever had to use a weapon on another living creature was when a wolf was stealing chickens from the Helvig's egg pens.

In fact, he did not even set foot in the town until he was sixteen. His mother, Kiley Thompson (formerly Harleson) had had a falling out with her father as a teenager, and had cut off contact with him. Blake thought his grandfather was dead for most of his childhood, and Oslo did not know he had a grandson. That all changed when Blake's mother and father were killed in a car accident, and Child Protective Services contacted Oslo to tell him that not only did he have a grandson, but that that grandson did not have anyone else to care for him. Blake moved in with Oslo, and their relationship was not the best for the two years of high school Blake lived with his grandfather. For the first two years of college, it looked like Blake was going to take after his mother, and not have any contact with Oslo. But something changed one autumn day when Blake showed up, everything he owned in garbage bags over his shoulder, looking for a place to live once more. There were tears and hugs as Blake told the story of falling in love with someone at college, and moving in with them, and when they inevitably broke up, he had nowhere to live. Blake had lived on the streets for six months before he'd had the guts to come home. After that, Blake took advantage of the internet infrastructure built by [[Stitch Santiago]] to take internet classes in Criminology, and, seven years ago, joined his grandfather on the Sheriff staff. Blake is well thought of in the community, and seems to be well on his way to becoming Sheriff when Oslo retires. ==Quotes about Blake Thompson== "Text of the Quote" - '''''Person Quoted''''' ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] 2fc8fac8f1eafa4ba652228eb62bfeaa94f5584d 6 52 110 2023-03-13T21:55:30Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki Ranger Courtney Baysler 8903adfa2d70280da3cbf1fc021bca75168d19db 0 53 111 2023-03-13T22:07:41Z BeylaDawn 2 Created page with "[[File:Courtney.jpg|thumb]] Courtney Baysler is the Forestry Service Ranger in charge of the stretch of woods that houses the Terra Incognita of Mausoleum Woods.

Stitch applied to be the technology director, and, after a lengthy interview process, was given the job. She has absolutely excelled in the position. Under Stitch, the library has become a somewhat well-known e-book library, with people well outside of Sunset Hollow logging on to their website to try out books. Additionally, she has entered into numerous inter-library lending agreements, allowing Sunset Hollow access to books that they normally couldn't even dream of. And finally, she created a computer lab that is so much more than just a lab of computers. Looking more like a café than a library, complete with drink service, the lab has become a popular spot in Sunset Hollow. Stitch is something of a socialite in town.

Having existed, in one form or another, since Death first crept into the world. They spent the vast majority of that as an old hag of a woman watching over the Peach Trees of Yomi-no-kumi. At some point, in the last hundred years, they decided that literally none of that was working out for them. First of all, they didn't want to be old anymore, they wanted to be... mature. But not old. And they didn't want to be ugly any longer. Instead, they wanted to be simply average. Normal. Perfectly normal looking. They'd seen beauty time-and-time-again, and it held no dear place for them. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, they decided they didn't identify as a woman any longer. They took their revelations to Izanami, expecting harsh retaliation. To their surprise, Izanami was very open to Jun taking some time off from work to explore themselves. They were granted a temporary leave of absence from watching the Peach Trees, and so Jun headed out in the world. Their path was winding and varied, but one thing they loved more than anything else was music. Eventually, they found themself in Sunset Hollow, with a job at WFTE 107.1 FM. For a while, they were only the weekend night DJ, but over twenty years, they slowly, like a fungus, took over more and more shifts, until they stay on-the-air pretty much full time. One thing they didn't leave behind from their time as a Yomotsu-shikome was their intense love of food, and particularly sweets of any kind. It isn't just common to hear Jun eating while on the air, it would be worrying if they weren't.

'''Name''' - Jun Hisame '''Pronouns''' - They/Them '''Apparent Age''' - Mid fourties? '''Callings''' - Creator, Judge, Sage ==Overview== Jun is literally millennia old. Having existed, in one form or another, since Death first crept into the world. They spent the vast majority of that as an old hag of a woman watching over the Peach Trees of Yomi-no-kumi. At some point, in the last hundred years, they decided that literally none of that was working out for them. First of all, they didn't want to be old anymore, they wanted to be... mature. But not old. And they didn't want to be ugly any longer. Instead, they wanted to be simply average. Normal. Perfectly normal looking. They'd seen beauty time-and-time-again, and it held no dear place for them. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, they decided they didn't identify as a woman any longer. They took their revelations to Izanami, expecting harsh retaliation. To their surprise, Izanami was very open to Jun taking some time off from work to explore themselves. They were granted a temporary leave of absence from watching the Peach Trees, and so Jun headed out in the world. Their path was winding and varied, but one thing they loved more than anything else was music. Eventually, they found themself in Sunset Hollow, with a job at WFTE 107.1 FM. For a while, they were only the weekend night DJ, but over twenty years, they slowly, like a fungus, took over more and more shifts, until they stay on-the-air pretty much full time. One thing they didn't leave behind from their time as a Yomotsu-shikome was their intense love of food, and particularly sweets of any kind. It isn't just common to hear Jun eating while on the air, it would be worrying if they weren't. Constantly sipping into the microphone, announcing the latest Bieber song with a mouth full of pastry, they are all expected of the only DJ that Sunset Hollow needs. Interestingly, with WFTE being able to be heard outside of Sunset Hollow, Jun has something of a reputation in northern Wisconsin.

She knew her mother, her father, and both her siblings. When the Bosnian War erupted, her family fled, but were constantly sent back by unsympathetic countries. Finally, towards the end of the war, her entire family were killed during the Srebrenica Massacre. Dzejla was rescued and brought to Great Britain by a service woman serving as a nurse during the conflict. She lived with the doctor's family for six years, and even enrolled in University, before it was finally discovered that she was in the country illegally. After a years-long fight with British Immigration, where she spent upwards of a year in Bosnia waiting some sort of decision, she was granted her citizenship, and allowed to return to University. Inspired by the good her adoptive mother, the nurse had done in her life, she decided to become a doctor. And, to honor the parents that were killed protecting her, she decided to do so under her birth name. Medical school to honor the family that saved her, her real name to honor the parents who protected her. She spent ten years serving with Doctors Without Borders, and is responsible for herself saving a dozen refugee children. Earlier this year, when [[Madison Lexington]] paid to open the new hospital in Sunset Hollow, Dzejla initially passed on the opportunity to apply to be Chief of Medicine. She was happy where she was, in New York, and didn't want to deal with small town politics. But when she caught word that Sunset Hollow was in the midst of a Divine Refugee Crisis, she pulled every string to get herself hired to the position. She is still something of an outsider in Sunset Hollow. People know her, but she is always working, and doesn't seem to make time for social functions. ==Quotes about Dzejla Ahmić== "Text of the Quote" - '''''Person Quoted''''' ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] adfbcf8dea753151756d47b94137a6a18eecfa2e 6 70 131 2023-03-14T00:30:02Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki Dr. Asako 86d82ee1224a3f8ce4f4d727bac19a481c1ce505 0 71 132 2023-03-14T00:42:49Z BeylaDawn 2 Created page with "[[File:Hallelujah.jpg|thumb]] Dr. Hallelujah Asako is the Chief of Obstetrics at [[Mausoleum Woods Medical Center]] and a Scion of Inari.

She learned from the other children that it was a bit traditional for the Japanese children to take "Americanized" names to make it easier on their teachers. Hallelujah was musing on what to call herself, and when she stumbled on a worship team singing on a televised Christian broadcast, she was immediately smitten with the word Hallelujah, and adopted it as her name. She has worn it with pride ever since, despite never actually finding religion herself. Inari came to Hallelujah after med school. She came after Hallelujah had spent a half dozen years performing abortions behind borders that would not allow proper family planning. She appeared while Hallelujah used Doctors Without Borders as a cover for her activities. Hallelujah had been discovered performing Family Care in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and was placed in prison. That is where Inari chose to appear to her erstwhile daughter. Hallelujah's escape was violent, and heavily televised, as she walked out of the police station she was held in with a gun under each arm. She is still wanted in DRC, along with several other countries. Not all for providing abortions, but enough that she has a reputation. When [[Dzejla Ahmic]] was named Chief of Medicine for the Mausoleum Woods Medical Center, she reached out to her old friend Hallelujah.

She's always taken an interest in the populace, and frequently took jobs, however temporary, that allowed her to be close to people.

Legend tells that she once saved the life of Sheriff [[Oslo Harleson]] when he got lost in Mausoleum Woods as a young man. Most recently, Calipiri has grown much more bold. She worked as wait staff for the diner that existed before [[Kalea's Poke Diner]], worked in the kitchen at [[Helvig's Family Bakery]] under [[Lottie Helvig]] and a dozen other jobs to get close to people. She's slowly but surely overcome her shyness, and is now absolutely at home around people. Notably, she not only worked as the head chef for [[Chopper's Bar and Grill]], but was openly and publicly dating [[Chopper Copenhagen]] at the same time. That lasted for several years, but fell apart spectacularly when they got into a fight over the direction of the menu. The last time Calipiri is known to have talked to Chopper, she was storming out of Chopper's, yelling "fuck you and fuck your warmed-over terrible Applebee's Wannabe Piece of Shit restaurant!" In retaliation for the break-up and the menu dispute, Calipiri revealed that she had saved up an absolute ton of money over the last 150 years of working in town, and, in record time set up The One Horse Bar.

They broke up over a dispute concerning the menu for the bar, and his attitude about the argument and breakup have led to the destruction of his monopoly, and the creation of his chief rival, [[The One Horse Bar]].

Sunset Hollow, being the type of town that it is, did not have a hotel, but there was a great deal of land available near the airport. Madison picked up that land and, along with her other building projects, had the Northbranch Lodge built. The Northbranch Lodge is an immense log cabin with six rooms for guests, and a full infrastructure inside for things like meetings and events. The conference room and associated kitchens and break-off meeting rooms occupies the entire ground floor of the structure. The second floor is the rooms Ash, Locust, and Pine, with Birch, Elm, and Oak on the third floor. [[File:Cabin room.jpg|thumb]] Each of the six residential rooms are intended to be more self-enclosed apartments than hotel rooms. Each features in-room laundry, and a private kitchen for each. As well, each has an in-room fireplace. The Northbranch Lodge has a skeleton staff of five people working there. The Director (who also works the front desk during the day shift) is a female Satyr named [[Cressa]] who had been working as a waitress at [[The One Horse Bar]] when Madison approached her to take over the hotel. The staff pride themselves on being sufficient to keep the not-so-little hotel up and running, but recognize that even they need help from time to time. When events take place, they frequently hire-out the support staff that the need. They have a long-standing relationship with [[Calipiri]] at the One Horse Bar to provide food and service when needed. ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] cac376351fb3ed7604162bf8c7f6b57bf4d0715f 0 21 143 54 2023-03-14T01:21:54Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Choppers.jpg|thumb]] Choppers Bar and Grill is a business in Sunset Hollow.

Now, Chopper's and One Horse are in an eternal cycle of bitter rivalry that has even stooped to corporate espionage and sabotage. The menu at Chopper's is a good mix of Americana. Known for their burgers, the kitchen stays open late to accommodate late-night eaters. The bar has many TVs, and even a projection screen they can roll out when needed, and as such, is a favorite place for people who want to watch sports with a group of people. ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] e2708ca9f8977b6f21b68bbae2d6f872af65527b 0 23 144 56 2023-03-14T01:22:08Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Sunset Hollow Elementary School.jpg|thumb]] Sunset Hollow Elementary School is a PK through Fifth Grade school located on the north side of Sunset Hollow. It is a newer building, made possible by an anonymous donation that is largely believed to either be from [[Madison Lexington]] herself, or from [[Virginia Neal]], who was a substitute teacher at the time. Part of the agreement that the School District signed with the anonymous donor was to include preschool and daycare facilities in the new building. Before the building of the new building, the Elementary School was part of a single school that housed Kindergarten through Twelfth Grade, an arrangement that had become largely untendable.

It has changed locations a number of times, but remains a popular breakfast spot. Every day, every table is filled, and the line waiting for a chance to eat breakfast is always out the door. Even in the winter. Helvig's current owner is [[Lottie Helvig]], who took over ownership of the breakfast spot in 1974. Lottie does all of the baking herself still, and shows no sign of slowing down. Her daughter and son-in-law, [[Elsie and Harold Anderson]] are the head chef and lead waiter, respectively, and her grand-daughter, Elsie and Harold's daughter, [[Kellie Anderson]], can be found working the cash register every day that Helving's is open, with few exceptions. A typical day at Helvig's Family Bakery sees the breakfast place open around 4am. Sometimes earlier, sometimes later, always when Lottie is ready to put her fresh made bagels out for the public. It stays open and serves food and coffee for as long as it has food left to serve. And when they run out of food? The close. Some days that's as early as 9am. Some days it is closer to noon. But when the "Closed" sign is hung on the door, the only thing left for Lottie's family is to clean up. Helvigs is open six days a week, closing on Tuesdays for Lottie to sleep in (which she never actually does). ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] cf1ab893f52a2402a4d5b15a76203a6677604c5f 0 26 146 59 2023-03-14T01:22:44Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:High School.jpg|thumb]] Sunset Hollow Junior and Senior High is an intermediate and secondary school, servicing grades 6 through 12 in Sunset Hollow.

It's two major features are the open-air barn structure that serves as the public meeting space, and a large and elaborate wooden playground set designed to mimic a dragon in a castle. A Nymph named [[Etha]] calls the park her home, but she doesn't make trouble for anyone attempting to spend their time there. She will, however, get quite testy if you don't take the time to clean up your trash.

It wasn't always Kalea's, and it didn't always serve poke, and in fact, before [[Madison Lexington]] moved to town, it had been vacant for several years. Madison had a friend who was looking to get out of the hot and heavy New York restaurant scene and just run a kitchen again, and she invited Kalea to Sunset Hollow to take over the location. Kalea's Poke Diner opens just after 4:30 pm on week nights, allowing for Kalea's favorite staff, local high school students, to get from school to work. On weekends, she stays open pretty much from 4:30 pm Friday until "whenever," according to the sign. She prefers high school students, because she likes their attitudes and likes putting money in their pockets. Also, she's sort of still a teenager at heart, and they make her feel young. The menu at Kalea's is an eclectic, and ever changing, mix of food intentionally not stepping on the toes of the other eateries in Sunset Hollow. And Kalea likes her food weird. What that means is that, while you can still get a classic burger at Kalea's, it will always be odd. One week, it may have oyster sauce on top of it, and the next the buns are cake donuts from [[Helvig's Family Bakery]]. And of course there is the poke.

Famously, The One Horse Bar only came into existence because Calipiri had a disastrously bad break-up with [[Chopper Copenhagen]] of [[Chopper's Bar and Grill]]. Rumor has it that the break-up was over the menu of the restaurant portion of the bar. The One Horse Bar has gone out of its way to present the affectation of being a dive bar, without any of the draw backs. It wants you to feel like you're walking into your second home when you walk in. It wants you to have "your booth" or "your stool." To that end, Calipiri tries very hard to remember the name of every person who's ever walked into her establishment. And she succeeds more often than not. The menu is mostly elevated bar food, like everything nachos, individual pizzas, and sliders that are, quite frankly, to die for. Many new people to town don't understand the deep enmity between The One Horse Bar and Chopper's, and step in the shit, so to speak, when they start talking about one around the people of the other. Calipiri is notorious for sending spies into Chopper's to discover what their drink specials are, and then undercutting them as best she can. ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] 6b92523cab3e1e4a8e59f0fdffae33c83bb379ab 0 36 150 72 2023-03-14T01:23:57Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Sheriff Station.jpg|thumb]] In the 1980's, a Sunset Hollow man named Reuben Godfrey thought it would be the most brilliant idea in the world to set up a Cadillac dealership in town. Sunset Hollow is a town notorious for not having any actual roads into or out of it. And while it isn't unusual for someone in Sunset Hollow to own a car to get around town, or to take the trails out into the Mausoleum Woods, a Cadillac is not exactly the type of car that is the first choice for transportation. The Godfrey Motors Cadillac Dealership lasted two long, always hurting years, and then closed down (with an everything-must-go sale that did... very little to recoup the costs for Reuben). Enter the Sunset Hollow Sheriff Department. In 1998, after record snowfall, the roof on the police station caved in. In looking for a temporary home for the Police Station, they decided to move into the old Cadillac Dealership building. By then, all of the letters for the word "Cadillac" had fallen from the building, save for the first four. The building gained the nickname "the Cadi" soon after. In the 25 years since then, no effort has been made to move out of the Cadi, and it is more-or-less recognized as the permanent home of the local Sheriff's deputies. The Sheriff of Sunset Hollow is [[Oslo Harleson]], though it is heavily rumored that Oslo is grooming his grandson, [[Blake Thompson]] to take his place very soon. ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] 65a907afae436ae415d7f244a0386a74db22a040 0 38 151 75 2023-03-14T01:24:11Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Library.jpg|thumb]] The Sunset Hollow Public Library is honestly probably a bit larger than it needs to be for a town the size of Sunset Hollow.

SHPL is home to a state-of-the-art computer lab that doubles as a local internet café (complete with baristas serving fancy coffee drinks, the only place in town to get a drink of the sort). The modernization efforts do not stop there, however. The Library has a very modern e-book lending program, as well as a very robust inter-library loan network set up with libraries all over the country, and the world. Aamir takes great pride in being able to, even partially, provide this access to knowledge from all over the world, and has been known to personally travel well outside of Wisconsin just to acquire a book necessary for a particularly promising project undertaken by someone in Sunset Hollow. The Library currently has a council of three directors that make most of the decisions for the institution. [[Helen Olson]] is the Head Librarian, [[Brian Winston]] is the Director of Outreach and Programs, and [[Stitch Santiago]] is the Director of Technology. ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] c8b7eca28c23d15cd5473342e0c4483d62d88bf6 0 40 152 77 2023-03-14T01:24:32Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:MWMC.jpg|thumb]] Mausoleum Woods Medical Center is brand new in the last year. Built extremely quickly (and many suggest with magic), MWMC was built to handle the influx of issues coming from the [[City]]. With refugees coming in, it was important to have a location in Sunset Hollow that could handle their needs on-site and effectively. That is not to say that the MWMC didn't exist before its current locations. The Medical Center ran a small ER and Family Practice Clinic for as long as anyone can remember. However, it has been expanded a great deal since then. The Mausoleum Woods Medical Center is, for all of its modernity, is still just a local hospital. Long-term care is still transferred, mostly, to hospitals in Wausau, and most specialists are still a helicopter ride away from their patients. The Head of Medicine for the MWMC is Dr. [[Dzejla Ahmic]], a refugee brought in to run the new hospital at the request of [[Madison Lexington]]. Part of Dr. Ahmic's agreement to take the reigns was to bring in Dr. [[Hallelujah Asako]], who, while contributing across the board, is technically the Head of Obstetrics. ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] 1ecc56581b303e542de71b5bf81bca893f6c65ce 0 42 153 80 2023-03-14T01:24:46Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Lexington House.jpg|thumb]] [[Madison Lexington]]'s House acts as the unofficial official headquarters of the [[Cadre]]. But it is more than just a home base, it is the home that Madison shares with [[Claudia Wylde]]. It is a place where dinner parties are thrown, a place where book clubs are held, and even shows the occasional movie in a massive front room that can hold a couple dozen people at once. It doesn't come close to replacing the [[Northbranch Lodge]] for big events, or either [[Honeysuckle Park]] or the [[Sunset Hollow Public Library]] for small events, but Madison does what she can to keep herself involved in the community. In recent months, temporary housing and trailers have been set up on the massive lawn of the Lexington House: a place for the refugees from the [[City]] to live while more permanent housing can be found for them. ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] e77f0b1abaffb194993af827dc4225d588abb07d 0 44 154 82 2023-03-14T01:25:55Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Radio Mic.jpg|thumb]] The nature of the Terra Incognita of Mausoleum Woods makes getting a signal from most radio stations very difficult. In the 1950's, WFTE 107.1 was established as a short-wave radio station to serve the surrounding area. There are other radio stations being broadcast out of small buildings or even homes in Sunset Hollow, but WFTE has the distinction of being somewhat Divinely Significant. For reasons no one understands, WFTE bleeds out of Mausoleum Woods in a way that no other station does, allowing it to be heard elsewhere outside the Terra Incognita. WFTE coming in on the radio is often the first clue a seeker has that they're getting close to the recluse town of Sunset Hollow. Currently, WFTE has one DJ that is on the air pretty much 24/7. [[Jun Hisame]] takes very few breaks, and keeps the very eclectic mix of music that 107.1 has become known for "spinning" as well as she can. She doesn't exactly have the best voice for radio, but she has become something of an institution. She takes requests all day every day, and if you happen to deliver your request with a bit of food (Jun loves the bear claws from [[Helvig's Family Bakery]] even though she never gets to go herself), you can be sure you'll hear your song very quickly. One more notable thing about WFTE 107.1 FM: the FCC has never been able to find them, and thus, Jun gets away with playing unedited music over the airwaves. There is, in fact, a small task force set up within the FCC to find and shut down this little station, but to date, they've been unsuccessful.

She leads a group of adventurers, called the [[Cadre]], who solve supernatural problems throughout the world. She and the Cadre found The [[City]] in the Tera Incognitae of [[Mausoleum Woods]], and she is the leading force behind the efforts to explore it and save the people within it. She is also the leading investor in most of the expansions to [[Sunset Hollow]] in the last few years. '''Name''' - Madison "Lexie" Lexington '''Pronouns''' - She/Her '''Apparent Age''' - Mid-to-late Thirties '''Callings''' - Leader, Lover, Sage ==History== Lexie was born to a very wealthy family, having made their money in the late part of the 20th Century in Real Estate and Manufacturing. And while she was born and kept her home in New York City, she spent her formative years traveling all over the world. Her first brush with fame was when she, as a teenage girl, became the subject of an E! Network Reality show about her travels and adventures. She was notable among the crop of reality stars in that her focus was mostly philanthropic and humanitarian, instead of pure consumerism. She would find causes, donate money and time, and visit them to follow up on results. It made her feel good, and the reach it provided to the causes was invaluable. During one of her philanthropic trips for the show, she was helping renovate several favelas in Rio de Janeiro, installing plumbing and electricity. She and her producers had done a very poor job of researching the situation, and Madison found herself taken at gunpoint by a criminal organization that considered itself the "owners" of the favela. The footage of the kidnapping was broadcast and shared all over the world. She remained missing for 17 days after her kidnapping, and at the end of the 17 days, she simply walked into the American Consulate and said she'd escaped. When she told authorities where she'd been held, the police investigated, but found the location completely deserted. The organization responsible for Lexie's kidnapping has never surfaced again. They have simply disappeared. A documentary was produced about Madison's kidnapping and escape, but Madison did not have anything to do with it. In the months and years following her escape, she became a complete recluse. The documentary gave the facts, those that existed, about the situation, and then veered heavily into speculation on what had happened. These theories were aided by the fact that in her one public statement, through an agent she fired just a few weeks later, Madison stated that she'd had a "spiritual awakening" while being held captive, and that she needed time to explore herself in the new world she found herself in. Two years of isolation and hiding after her kidnapping and subsequent escape, Madison Lexington reappeared on the public scene. A news organization in Russia broke the story, but it was carried all over the world. Lexie, along with several other individuals, had broken up a child trafficking ring, and the captured traffickers referred to her as a witch. In a public statement, released through her new agent [[Claudia Wylde]], Madison acknowledged that she had begun to study witchcraft, and was dedicated to using it to make the world a better place. In the five years that followed, Madison and the group that had come to be called the Cadre made news time and again for dealing with supernatural problems. In 2015, something happened. No one has all the details except Lexie and the Cadre. They were forced to abandon New York City as a home base, and disappeared for several years. For three years, they simply disappeared off the face of the Earth. For the first few months, rumors ran rampant about what had happened and where they were. When they emerged, it was a subtle thing. Small jobs, little tasks. Much more motivated by Lexie's desire to actually help people. In the years that followed, she has used her influence and money to get people to move to Sunset Hollow to help deal with the humanitarian crisis she has discovered. ==Quotes about Madison Lexington== "Text of the Quote" - '''''Person Quoted''''' ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] b9454f8c08edabbd9b47cf389aa46d98e17fd9bc 0 11 156 88 2023-03-14T01:28:01Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Claudia.jpg|thumb]] Claudia Black is the Agent and Business Manager for [[Madison Lexington]]. She is also an adventurer that is part of the [[Cadre]] in her own right. Responsible for media presence, promotion, and finances, she is the backbone of the Cadre's ability to keep opperating. '''Name''' - Claudia Wylde '''Pronouns''' - She/Her '''Apparent Age''' - Early-to-mid thirties '''Callings''' - Guardian, Lover, Trickster ==Overview== Little is known about Claudia before her attachment to Madison became public knowledge. Sure, everyone can find the details. She grew up in Birmingham in Alabama. She went to the University of Miami where she received a Masters in Business Law. She paid for college by acting as a model, a fact that got her kicked off of the Hurricanes Cheer Squad. After school, she moved around, mostly on the East Coast, working up the ladder at various legal practices. She wasn't Madison Lexington-rich, by any means, but she was very well-off. What isn't known is how she met Madison, became hired as her Agent, or became embroiled in her adventuring. For several years, an active effort was made to hide that Claudia was actually participating in the adventures that the Cadre would go on. She was kept separate: a mouthpiece and legal representation. That all changed when, during a mission in Dubai where the Cadre dealt with a death cult that was brainwashing and kidnapping teenage girls and young mothers. The entire Cadre was arrested for the death of the cult leader, but legal filings indicated that Claudia was the shooter that killed him, while the rest were merely listed as celebrities. After that, the pretense that Claudia was not an active participant was abandoned. Speculation has followed Claudia and Madison for almost as long as they've been publicly tied together. Acute observers noticed little looks, touches, and interactions between the Famous Witch and her agent, and theories that they were dating began to spread online. And while no official acknowledgement has ever been made by either party, they are somewhat obvious about their relationship now. To the point that they share a home in Sunset Hollow. It is further speculated that the relationship between the two was the source of the Cadre having to leave New York City. Claudia had a brief affair, before she became associated with Lexington, with a lawyer in New York that later turned out to be a Scion of a God from the Kami. This lawyer had significant and public ties to the Japanese Organized Crime organizations in New York. Around the time that the Cadre fled to Sunset Hollow, a video was live-broadcast showing, briefly, Claudia at dinner, holding hands with Lexie. This Lawyer arrived at the restaurant and made quite a scene. Whether that was the impetus for the change of venue or not, Claudia retreated to Sunset Hollow with the rest of the Cadre. Claudia has begun working as an agent again for her only clients, and is actively working to raise the profile of the situation there. ==Quotes about Claudia Wylde== "Quote Text." - '''''Person Quoted''''' ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] 810223ace560c6901ab74c95d8f477f8a9d10f90 0 46 157 97 2023-03-14T01:29:15Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Virginia.jpg|thumb]] Virginia Neal is an adventurer associated with the [[Cadre]] of [[Madison Lexington]]. She is also the 4th Grade Teacher at [[Sunset Hollow Elementary School]] and after school, she coaches Girl's Hockey for the [[Sunset Hollow Junior and Senior High]] '''Name''' - Virginia Neal '''Pronouns''' - She/Her '''Apparent Age''' - Late Thirties, Early Fourties. '''Callings''' - Leader, Liminal, Trickster ==History== There are hundreds of people all over the world named Virginia Neal, and this Virginia Neal might be any one of them, or none of them. Fans of the Cadre have pet theories of who she really is, but no one is actually sure. Whether Virginia Neal is an assumed name or not isn't even known. What is known is that no "Origin Story" of Virginia with Lexie exists. When Lexie first burst onto the scene as an Adventurer, she had the woman known as Virginia with her. Virginia, wearing a hoodie pulled low over her eyes, stood behind Lexie in the first press conference, as [[Claudia Wylde]] announced the return of Madison to the public eye. For several years, Virginia didn't even have a name. Just "that redhead behind Lexie." The prevailing rumor of the people who follow the Cadre is that Virginia was somehow involved in organized crime, and was hiding out from the fallout of jobs gone wrong (or right...) But another popular theory is that she is the Scion of a Divinity that hasn't been made public. Still a third states that she's actually the undead, returned after a situation that went very wrong for her, and Lexie is attempting to find a way, using her magic, to restore Virginia to life. Most agree, however, with no evidence, that Virginia was a key in why the Cadre had to flee New York. Something from Virginia's past reared an ugly head, and they had to lay low. Virginia was the last of the Cadre to find a place to fit in in Sunset Hollow. For almost a year, she sat idle, living off the money she'd made in the previous years. She eventually took a part-time job as a substitute teacher for the Sunset Hollow School District. Whatever the truth about the Virginia Neal identity is, it at least came with a teaching certificate. After several years of sporadic substitute teaching, she was approached by the Superintendent of the schools and asked to become a regular teacher. She agreed, after some hesitation, and after a year at the High School, found herself with her own Fourth Grade class. ==Quotes about Virginia Neal== "Text of the Quote" - '''''Person Quoted''''' ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] c1970c20cd160f3a1f2e4c922bb7000da4127c26 0 13 158 90 2023-03-14T01:29:46Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki [[File:Yesenia.jpg|thumb]] Yesenia Santiago is a famous adventurer working with [[Madison Lexington]]'s [[Cadre]].

He is a known and public Scion of Durga, and currently the head (and chief financier) of the Sunset Hollow Historical Society. '''Name''' - Aamir Balakrishan '''Pronouns''' - He/Him '''Apparent Age''' - Mid Thirties. '''Callings''' - Guardian, Sage, Warrior ==History== Aamir had no idea of his own parentage for most of his life. He grew up as an orphan in the very overcrowded Social Services of Dehli, with no idea where he came from. The fact that his given surname was Balakrishan likely means that at least one of his parents was from Southern India, immigrated to the United States, and then returned. He was adopted a half dozen times from the age of three until he finally aged out at eighteen, but none of them took firmly. He gained a reputation among the Child Services worker for getting into fights. It did not matter, to most of the people making note of Aamir's fighting, that most of the fights he got into were standing up for other children who could not do so. Aamir transitioned to University early, and found it an excellent fit. He quickly advanced and got a legal degree. He competed in intercollegiate wrestling and rugby while there. After University, he used his legal degree to get a job with the Central Armed Police Forces. It was while responding to a routine domestic call in a tenement in Dehli that Aamir had his Visitation. At least, according to his own accounts. The domestic call turned into something much more violent and involved. With no backup, largely due to the intervention of Aamir's divine parent Durga, Aamir was able to save the lives of thirty four hostages single-handedly. For his service, he was awarded the Medal for Gallantry. After that, he was recruited to the 51 SAG as part of the Special Action Group. For four years he worked in counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism. How he met [[Madison Lexington]] is a story neither have told in public to date, but there are reports that Lexie spent some time working as a consultant for the SAG during a particularly Mythological Situation involving over-aggressive Griffon Vultures. Aamir is a well-known, if somewhat situational pacificist. A fact that has somewhat, at least by his account, created some tension between his Divine mother and himself. Aamir would rather resolve conflict via words and cooperation than violence. Still, he's not above throwing the occasional fist here and there in defense of the Cadre, and when lives are in danger. It is this tendency, however, that rumors latch on to to explain why Aamir and the rest of the Cadre had to leave New York. The rumor states that Madison and the Cadre found a compromise with someone or something, meaning no violence was needed. And that something or someone turned around and hurt a lot of people. Durga was particularly mad at her son, and the heat from an annoyed Deva was the reason they had to find a hidden Terra Incognita to disappear to. Aamir currently works as the curator of the very small Sunset Hollow Historical Society. He is still very much an amature when it comes to the history of the region and mostly relies on the work of his few employees, but he's learning. And diving in with gusto. He, by all reports, is enjoying his relatively quiet life of reading and researching. ==Quotes about Aamir Balakrishan== "Text of the Quote" - '''''Person Quoted''''' ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] [[Rules]] 1f1a2550a93779b67e04443bd1a52064d6359901 0 1 160 19 2023-03-14T01:37:31Z 208.38.228.39 0 wikitext text/x-wiki __NOTOC__ == Welcome to {{SITENAME}}! == [[File:Forest Town.jpg|thumb]] Sunset Hollow is a small town. Not so small that meeting someone new is an unusual experience, but small enough that you expect to be on a first name basis with the old man on the check-out at the grocery store who only does the job because he’s bored in retirement. It sits in the middle of 100 miles of untouched, untamed ancient-growth forest somewhere in northern Wisconsin called Mausoleum Woods. Exactly where is hard to pinpoint, because the hundred miles of forest only take up about a mile and a half of actual map space. You see, Mausoleum Woods is a Terra Incognitae. A Midrealm. A space of mystical power that not so much breaks the laws of reality as simply writes its own laws and pays more attention to those than the ones we care about. There are no roads into or out of Mausoleum Woods, and the river that cuts through the middle of it doesn’t connect to any of the hundreds of rivers in the rest of northern Wisconsin. The only way into or out of Sunset Hollow is the airport about a mile outside of town proper, and then only if you know the way. [[File:Untamed Forest.jpg|thumb]] The Terra Incognitae was established by the combined magics of the local Puckwidgie population, paired with non-native Satyr, nymphs, and other nature spirits. They were concerned when whole-scale logging began to destroy the woods around them, and wanted to preserve what they could of the untamed beauty around them. The Mausoleum Woods don’t discourage people from settling, but attempts at land clearing on any scale beyond space for a single house or cottage always seem to meet with disaster. == The Town == People with a taste for solitude and living off the untamed land flocked to the Mausoleum Woods in the types of numbers that those sorts of people always flock in: that is to say, they came in a trickle. It took 100 years for it to become the sort of settlement that could properly be considered a town, and many of those residents still maintain huge spaces between houses. Point of fact, Sunset Hollow occupies a footprint, so far as such can be measured in the wonky wobbly space of Mausoleum Woods, as a town four times its population. And it isn’t just humans living in the Woods. Not just the Puckwidgie and associated forest-folk, either. In the last few years, Sunset Hollow, small as it is, has seen an influx of the types of creatures that don’t necessarily fit with typical scientific taxonomy. The local bartender is a Satyr. A Cyclopes works in the lumber yard, and not just as labor, but as an expert in her craft. A werewolf teaches fourth grade, and doubles as a tennis coach for the high school girls. Still, it has all the amenities that one would need. A grocery store that is always stocked up on local elk venison. A box store with a breakfast counter, both stocked by a weekly supply plane from closest-town Wausau. Separate elementary and secondary schools, a hospital with an attached clinic, and a sporting goods store that does a brisk business all year round. There’s a bar, too. More than one, actually, and each have their regulars that claim there is really only one bar in town. [[File:Cabin.jpg|thumb]] There’s even a small hotel. The Northbranch Lodge is new, built on the hill beside the airport, with six rooms and a conference hall that wouldn’t be out of placec in a much larger city. It was built by [[Madison Lexington]] just a few months ago to accommodate the influx of people coming to Sunset Hollow now. Ah, I see the question before you even ask it. Why would there be an influx of people coming to Sunset Hollow? This seems like the sort of community that values its privacy. You’d be right, but you’d also be forgetting about Madison Lexington. Lexie to her friends. == Madison Lexington == [[File:Lexie.jpg|thumb]] Madison Lexington made a name for herself in certain circles of society as a supernatural investigator and problem solver. You may have heard of her. She solved that serpent cult problem in Louisiana, and sent those Angels in Abu Dhabi back where they came from. She, and her small band of co-adventurers, used to make their home in New York, where they became something of celebrities. Maybe not household names, but enough magazine covers that certain people might have gotten a bit tired of seeing their faces. No one has all the details but probably Madison and her cohorts, but something happened in their home of New York. Some say it was vampires, others say it was gods. One of her group is a known son of Agni, and at least a few of the rumors were that Agni was not happy with how they handled something in particular. Lots of theories, not a lot of facts, honestly. But whatever happened, Lexie and her group needed to get out of dodge and find someplace to lay low. They’d run across Sunset Hollow at some point in their travels, and felt like it was the perfect place to blow off some of the heat they’d acquired. Lexie was flush with cash from both her legitimate businesses, and, some say, manipulating markets with her magic. Lexie is a witch, afterall. Seven years ago, they moved to Sunset Hollow. For the first three of those years, they simply laid low and built themselves a life in the tiny town. After that, they began taking jobs again. About eleven months ago, one of the werewolves in Mausoleum Woods stumbled across a doorway. A Gateway somewhere in the middle of the Midrealm. On the other side of that Gateway? == The City == [[File:The City.jpg|thumb]] A city. Domed, in ruins, and overgrown with moss and vines and trees everywhere. But the lights were still on. Lexie and her crew investigated, but quickly came to discover that the City was not entirely without inhabitants. People trapped there, living lives of misery and scarcity, kept there by jailors made out of the material of the city itself. They got out a handful of the trapped people, fighting against raptors made from vines and hunched guards made of the very brick and mortar of the walls the whole way. It became clear, very quickly, that what they had found was bigger than just what the few of them could handle. The call went out, through whatever means they could utilize, to bring capable people to Sunset Hollow to set to the task of exploring the city, liberating her captives, and, in some cases, dealing with the other… problems… Madison so readily shoulders when she hears a tale of sorrow.

Not so small that meeting someone new is an unusual experience, but small enough that you expect to be on a first name basis with the old man on the check-out at the grocery store who only does the job because he’s bored in retirement. It sits in the middle of 100 miles of untouched, untamed ancient-growth forest somewhere in northern Wisconsin called Mausoleum Woods. Exactly where is hard to pinpoint, because the hundred miles of forest only take up about a mile and a half of actual map space. You see, Mausoleum Woods is a Terra Incognitae. A Midrealm. A space of mystical power that not so much breaks the laws of reality as simply writes its own laws and pays more attention to those than the ones we care about. There are no roads into or out of Mausoleum Woods, and the river that cuts through the middle of it doesn’t connect to any of the hundreds of rivers in the rest of northern Wisconsin. The only way into or out of Sunset Hollow is the airport about a mile outside of town proper, and then only if you know the way. [[File:Untamed Forest.jpg|thumb]] The Terra Incognitae was established by the combined magics of the local Puckwidgie population, paired with non-native Satyr, nymphs, and other nature spirits. They were concerned when whole-scale logging began to destroy the woods around them, and wanted to preserve what they could of the untamed beauty around them. The Mausoleum Woods don’t discourage people from settling, but attempts at land clearing on any scale beyond space for a single house or cottage always seem to meet with disaster. == The Town == People with a taste for solitude and living off the untamed land flocked to the Mausoleum Woods in the types of numbers that those sorts of people always flock in: that is to say, they came in a trickle. It took 100 years for it to become the sort of settlement that could properly be considered a town, and many of those residents still maintain huge spaces between houses. Point of fact, Sunset Hollow occupies a footprint, so far as such can be measured in the wonky wobbly space of Mausoleum Woods, as a town four times its population. And it isn’t just humans living in the Woods. Not just the Puckwidgie and associated forest-folk, either. In the last few years, Sunset Hollow, small as it is, has seen an influx of the types of creatures that don’t necessarily fit with typical scientific taxonomy. The local bartender is a Satyr. A Cyclopes works in the lumber yard, and not just as labor, but as an expert in her craft. A werewolf teaches fourth grade, and doubles as a tennis coach for the high school girls. Still, it has all the amenities that one would need. A grocery store that is always stocked up on local elk venison. A box store with a breakfast counter, both stocked by a weekly supply plane from closest-town Wausau. Separate elementary and secondary schools, a hospital with an attached clinic, and a sporting goods store that does a brisk business all year round. There’s a bar, too. More than one, actually, and each have their regulars that claim there is really only one bar in town. [[File:Cabin.jpg|thumb]] There’s even a small hotel. The Northbranch Lodge is new, built on the hill beside the airport, with six rooms and a conference hall that wouldn’t be out of placec in a much larger city. It was built by [[Madison Lexington]] just a few months ago to accommodate the influx of people coming to Sunset Hollow now. Ah, I see the question before you even ask it. Why would there be an influx of people coming to Sunset Hollow? This seems like the sort of community that values its privacy. You’d be right, but you’d also be forgetting about Madison Lexington. Lexie to her friends. == Madison Lexington == [[File:Lexie.jpg|thumb]] Madison Lexington made a name for herself in certain circles of society as a supernatural investigator and problem solver. You may have heard of her. She solved that serpent cult problem in Louisiana, and sent those Angels in Abu Dhabi back where they came from. She, and her small band of co-adventurers, used to make their home in New York, where they became something of celebrities. Maybe not household names, but enough magazine covers that certain people might have gotten a bit tired of seeing their faces. No one has all the details but probably Madison and her cohorts, but something happened in their home of New York. Some say it was vampires, others say it was gods. One of her group is a known son of Agni, and at least a few of the rumors were that Agni was not happy with how they handled something in particular. Lots of theories, not a lot of facts, honestly. But whatever happened, Lexie and her group needed to get out of dodge and find someplace to lay low. They’d run across Sunset Hollow at some point in their travels, and felt like it was the perfect place to blow off some of the heat they’d acquired. Lexie was flush with cash from both her legitimate businesses, and, some say, manipulating markets with her magic. Lexie is a witch, afterall. Seven years ago, they moved to Sunset Hollow. For the first three of those years, they simply laid low and built themselves a life in the tiny town. After that, they began taking jobs again. About eleven months ago, one of the werewolves in Mausoleum Woods stumbled across a doorway. A Gateway somewhere in the middle of the Midrealm. On the other side of that Gateway? == The City == [[File:The City.jpg|thumb]] A city. Domed, in ruins, and overgrown with moss and vines and trees everywhere. But the lights were still on.

Everything from how the game is played to how you gain experience points. ==Code of Conduct== Before we talk about anything else, we have some very basic rules of conduct that everyone will be expected to follow in the game, both In Character and Out of Character. 1. Consent is Queen! This is the first and foremost rule! Everything in this game requires consent, and if it is ever not given, or withdrawn, whatever is going on that is no longer consented to must stop immediately. And when we say consent, we mean enthusiastic, verbal, active consent. Consent is not a passive, implied thing. It is an active gift given by another player or GM. 2. No racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, or any other speech designed to denigrate or put down others based on who they are. 3. The GM Staff reserves the right to judge speech as unallowed, should a question be raised. We live in a world of dog whistles and code phrases designed by bad actors, and judgement is necessary, and so, it will be a tool in the toolbox of our GMs. 4. If someone is uncomfortable with a topic of conversation, and states as such, then the topic either needs to come to an end, or be taken to a Direct Message. No last point to be made, no final thoughts. You're more than welcome to acknowledge the request, or apologize for making them uncomfortable, however. '''Consequences''' - If these rules are broken, the GM staff will have a private conversation with the offending party. Based on that conversation, and taking into account the severity of the offense, past offenses, and any other factors in play, consequences can range from a warning, to a suspension, to removal from the server. All consequences will be undertaken up front and openly to the party subject to the consequences. ==How the Game Will Be Played== Sunset Hollow is a unique game in the way that it is played. Once you have an approved character, you will see a whole list of available In Character locations on the server. You are not just allowed, but encouraged, to RP in those locations to your heart's content. Find other players who want their characters involved, and interact with them as much as you want. The GMs will interact with these scenes when able or necessary, but their presence is not needed. Rule Adjudication will be handled in a heading below. As often per week as the GM staff can handle, we will be announcing Missions. Missions will be goal-oriented sessions to be played over voice chat on Discord, like a more traditional RPG session. The rules for signing up and participating in these scenes will be covered below. Additionally, you each character will be allowed a certain number of Downtime Actions. Downtimes are actions that are intended to accomplish goals (or Deeds...) but don't necessarily require input from others. Downtimes can require scenes to be run, but don't necessarily. Rules for Downtimes are covered below. ==Server Scenes== A server scene is any scene that takes place, via text, on the actual server. Scenes should take place in one of the IC rooms that your character has access to (for instance, the Birch Room of the Northbridge Lodge is an individual room, and therefore a random Scion coming in off the street would not have access to it). There are three Session Rooms available for scenes that take place away from the normally available IC rooms, but if you find that you're using those session rooms frequently, that might be an indication that the IC rooms provided by the GMs are not currently sufficient, and there should be some additions made. DM your GM staff and make room suggestions. Server Scenes, by definition, do not require the presence of a GM. That is not to say that there will not be scenes set up by downtimes on the server with the GMs, or that the GMs will not get involved. It is to say that you do not need to find a GM to get a Server Scene started. The GM staff is not online 24/7, but the game is open for Server Scenes every day all day. If something comes up that requires a GM to make a rules calling, or have an NPC react, the scene may have to pause in order to get the attention of a GM. All uses of Knacks, Boons, Relics, or other actions of the sort, in Server Scenes, require consent of both the person attempting to use them and the person or persons who would be the target. If consent is not given, then the attempt is simply not taken. If consent is given, but there is a question of implementation or rules of any kind, a GM can be called in to help. If no GM is present and available, then the scene has two options: either pause the scene until a ruling can be made, or the scene is automatically ruled in favor of the defender. In keeping with Rule #1 above, Consent is Queen. Please make liberal use of Trigger Warnings with your own statements (for instance, if someone asks about something in your backstory, and the story may involve elements that might trigger others). To post a Trigger Warning, please use the Spoiler Tag in Discord. A Spoiler Tag is accomplished by placing two vertical bars at the front and end of your text. A Server Scene that is started, but cannot be completed can be put on hold. If this happens, we request that at least one of the players make a note that the scene is on-hold, so that others don't accidentally interrupt it. We do ask that, if a scene needs to be put on hold, every effort be made to get back to the scene as quickly as possible, as having a scene on hold ties up a room that others wish to play in. When a Server Scene comes to an end, we ask that one of the players indicate that the scene is over by placing a black bar across the bottom of the scene. This black bar is accomplished by typing the following into Discord without the quotation marks: "``` ```" Individual Deeds can be accomplished during a Server Scene. ==Mission Scenes== Mission Scenes are the scenes that take place during designated mission times. They are over voice chat unless an alternate scene format is agreed upon ahead of time. Missions will be posted in the Mission Board channel on the Discord Monday Evening (the server uses US CST as a default). It will contain a short synopsis of the "hook" for the mission, the expected styles of play that will be involved (will it be a largely physical mission, or a social, or something else). It will contain whatever Content Warnings the GM might be aware of at the beginning. Also, the number of available player slots will be noted. To participate in one of these Mission Scenes, you must contact the GM who posted the mission and tell them you'd like to sign up. If you are accepted to the scene, then your name will be added to the roster of participants on the initial posting. Slots on the roster will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. The first to request a roster spot will get it. The exception to this is if a player that already has a roster spot has already been on a mission in that month, and a player requesting a spot has not. Players who have already been on missions in the last month will, instead of being placed on the roster, be placed on a separate alternative roster. If there are still slots available 24 hours before the scheduled scene time, players on the alternative roster will be moved to the active roster one at a time, first-come, first serve as always. This way, everyone gets a chance to play in a Mission Scene if they wish, with no real advantage being given to those in a certain time-zone. There is no expectation of Mission participation. This game exists for you to have fun how you want. If you wish to just be a social member of the game and not participate in Missions, that is your prerogative. No punishment will be given for choosing not to participate in Missions. If you have signed up for a Mission and life gets in the way, we understand. Life happens, and game is happy-fun-time. If you can give it, a 24 hour notice will allow us to slot in alternate players, but we understand that's not always possible. No punishment will be levied based on having to back out of scenes. At the beginning of a Mission, the players will have a chance to negotiate a Band Deed goal for the mission. This goal will need to be separate from the actual stated goal of the mission. For instance, if the mission is to rescue a bunch of children from The City, the Deed cannot be "rescue the children." It would need to be something else able to be accomplished, but largely separate from the stated mission goal. Something like "make sure that the people who took the children cannot do it again" would be perfect. XP is awarded based on success of this Band Deed. ==Downtimes== Downtimes are not necessarily scenes. They are the activities that your character partakes between active scenes, be they Server or Missions. They are not mundane things like working a job, but rather specific goals that need to be accomplished. "Go to my shift at the Mausoleum Woods Medical Center" is not a Downtime, it is simply assumed. "Use my access to the MWMC labs to do a full work-up of the type of blood we found at the scene," however, would be a downtime scene. Most Downtimes can be accomplished in a simple call-and-response form. You as the player posts what you want to accomplish in your Downtime Channel on the Discord, and a GM will respond to the Downtime giving the results. Sometimes, Downtimes will require a set of rolls from the player doing them. The GM will indicate when these happen. Sometimes, the Downtime will require a scene. Usually when the outcome depends on more than one roll to accomplish. The GM and Player will work together to schedule this scene, and inviting other players to participate will be the prerogative of the player who posted the Downtime. Each player gets 3 Downtimes per month. The GMs will respond to the Downtimes within a week of them being posted, unless they were posted after the 20th of the month. In that case, the GMs cannot promise that we will be able to get to them in time. An extra XP will be awarded for any Downtimes that come in on or before the 5th of the Month. It is absolutely ok to attempt to follow up on Downtimes after the response has been given. Asking questions, taking the downtime just a step or two further, stuff like that is ok and expected. But, at a certain point, the GM will need to declare that going further requires a further Downtime. You can then use a remaining Downtime for this month to follow up, or if you can't or don't want to, you can wait until the next month. When posting Downtimes, please use your Downtimes Channel on Discord. Please post EACH downtime as a separate post, so that the GM can use the reply function. Please date each downtime, so it is easy to keep track of. Individual Deeds can be accomplished in Downtimes. ==Deeds== Players are encouraged to set Individual Deeds for their characters. Each character will be allowed to have 1 Short Term Individual Deed, and 1 Long Term Individual Deed, active at any given time. A player can accomplish no more than 1 Short Term deed per month. They cannot accomplish more than 1 Long Term Deed in a month, but cannot accomplish Long Term Deeds in consecutive months. ==Experience Points Awards== Experience Points will be awarded in the following ways. Every month, every player, regardless of participation, will be awarded 2 XP. Every player who turns in a downtime will be awarded 1 XP Turning in that downtime on or before the 5th of the month results in 1 extra XP. Each player participating in a Mission Scene will be awarded 1 XP. Accomplishing the Band Deed goal decided on between players at the beginning of Mission Scenes will result in the awarding of 2 XP When a player accomplishes an Individual Deed, they will be awarded 1 XP. ==Experience Point Floor== We at Sunset Hollow are not interested in people being behind the 8-ball from the beginning of play. As such, we will be utilizing an XP Floor. That is to say, the minimum number of XP that a player comes in with at creation. This floor will be equal to the minimum number of XP that a character made before the first active day of the game would have achieved. In other words, 2 XP per month the chat has been open. '''The current XP Floor is''': 0 XP ==Experience Point Ceiling== At the end of the first six months of the chat, an audit of all character sheets will be conducted. The character with the most XP in the chat will be identified. Any character that does not have that many XP will, whenever they receive an XP award, will receive 1 Additional XP, until they reach this ceiling. In this way, we keep a relatively even playing field, while still rewarding participation and activity. '''The current XP Ceiling is''': 0 XP ==NSFW Material== Consent is Queen. As such, NSFW material, such as nudity in images, or sexual content in a scene, will not be allowed on the Discord. This is because everyone can read every scene and see every image posted. It would be impossible to get consent from everyone ahead of time. If you are unsure, put the material behind a spoiler tag, but clearly label why it is behind the black bar. If someone has posted material that you believe is unacceptable, either tell them or call it to the attention of a GM. That being said, this is a social game about people. Sex is going to happen. We encourage people to explore the relationships of their characters to the level of their comfort. The standard of this game is a fade to black before things get explicit. But if you and a player giving '''ENTHUSIASTIC AND ACTIVE CONSENT''' wish to pursue the scene further, please take it to a Direct Message scene. Individual Deeds cannot be accomplished in Direct Message scenes. a2b43f6c9b6e5d14efcf243ce4e6f4e2d4077b0c 167 166 2023-03-14T15:18:08Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki These are the rules of the game we are about to play.

If you can give it, a 24 hour notice will allow us to slot in alternate players, but we understand that's not always possible. No punishment will be levied based on having to back out of scenes. At the beginning of a Mission, the players will have a chance to negotiate a Band Deed goal for the mission. This goal will need to be separate from the actual stated goal of the mission. For instance, if the mission is to rescue a bunch of children from The City, the Deed cannot be "rescue the children." It would need to be something else able to be accomplished, but largely separate from the stated mission goal. Something like "make sure that the people who took the children cannot do it again" would be perfect. XP is awarded based on success of this Band Deed. ==Downtimes== Downtimes are not necessarily scenes. They are the activities that your character partakes between active scenes, be they Server or Missions. They are not mundane things like working a job, but rather specific goals that need to be accomplished. "Go to my shift at the Mausoleum Woods Medical Center" is not a Downtime, it is simply assumed. "Use my access to the MWMC labs to do a full work-up of the type of blood we found at the scene," however, would be a downtime scene. Most Downtimes can be accomplished in a simple call-and-response form. You as the player posts what you want to accomplish in your Downtime Channel on the Discord, and a GM will respond to the Downtime giving the results. Sometimes, Downtimes will require a set of rolls from the player doing them. The GM will indicate when these happen. Sometimes, the Downtime will require a scene. Usually when the outcome depends on more than one roll to accomplish. The GM and Player will work together to schedule this scene, and inviting other players to participate will be the prerogative of the player who posted the Downtime. Each player gets 3 Downtimes per month. The GMs will respond to the Downtimes within a week of them being posted, unless they were posted after the 20th of the month. In that case, the GMs cannot promise that we will be able to get to them in time. An extra XP will be awarded for any Downtimes that come in on or before the 5th of the Month. It is absolutely ok to attempt to follow up on Downtimes after the response has been given. Asking questions, taking the downtime just a step or two further, stuff like that is ok and expected. But, at a certain point, the GM will need to declare that going further requires a further Downtime. You can then use a remaining Downtime for this month to follow up, or if you can't or don't want to, you can wait until the next month. When posting Downtimes, please use your Downtimes Channel on Discord. Please post EACH downtime as a separate post, so that the GM can use the reply function. Please date each downtime, so it is easy to keep track of. Individual Deeds can be accomplished in Downtimes. ==Deeds== Players are encouraged to set Individual Deeds for their characters. Each character will be allowed to have 1 Short Term Individual Deed, and 1 Long Term Individual Deed, active at any given time. A player can accomplish no more than 1 Short Term deed per month. They cannot accomplish more than 1 Long Term Deed in a month, but cannot accomplish Long Term Deeds in consecutive months. ==Experience Points Awards== Experience Points will be awarded in the following ways. Every month, every player, regardless of participation, will be awarded 2 XP. Every player who turns in a downtime will be awarded 1 XP Turning in that downtime on or before the 5th of the month results in 1 extra XP. Each player participating in a Mission Scene will be awarded 1 XP. Accomplishing the Band Deed goal decided on between players at the beginning of Mission Scenes will result in the awarding of 2 XP When a player accomplishes an Individual Deed, they will be awarded 1 XP. ==Experience Point Floor== We at Sunset Hollow are not interested in people being behind the 8-ball from the beginning of play. As such, we will be utilizing an XP Floor. That is to say, the minimum number of XP that a player comes in with at creation. This floor will be equal to the minimum number of XP that a character made before the first active day of the game would have achieved. In other words, 2 XP per month the chat has been open. '''The current XP Floor is''': 0 XP ==Experience Point Ceiling== At the end of the first six months of the chat, an audit of all character sheets will be conducted. The character with the most XP in the chat will be identified. Any character that does not have that many XP will, whenever they receive an XP award, will receive 1 Additional XP, until they reach this ceiling. In this way, we keep a relatively even playing field, while still rewarding participation and activity. '''The current XP Ceiling is''': 0 XP ==NSFW Material== Consent is Queen. As such, NSFW material, such as nudity in images, or sexual content in a scene, will not be allowed on the Discord. This is because everyone can read every scene and see every image posted. It would be impossible to get consent from everyone ahead of time. If you are unsure, put the material behind a spoiler tag, but clearly label why it is behind the black bar. If someone has posted material that you believe is unacceptable, either tell them or call it to the attention of a GM. That being said, this is a social game about people. Sex is going to happen. We encourage people to explore the relationships of their characters to the level of their comfort. The standard of this game is a fade to black before things get explicit. But if you and a player giving '''ENTHUSIASTIC AND ACTIVE CONSENT''' wish to pursue the scene further, please take it to a Direct Message scene. Individual Deeds cannot be accomplished in Direct Message scenes. ==Changes to These Rules== The GM staff reserves the right to update, alter, or change these rules in any way that would improve the experience of the game. In cases where major changes need to be made, a notification will be given in the Announcements channel of the Discord detailing the change, and the reasons why. But sometimes a change in wording will be necessary for clarity. In those cases, there may or may not be an announcement made. ==Links== [[Locations]] [[NPCs]] [[PCs]] a0a53b5efc6c101c2f47d6d310fdee53206f1e7b 168 167 2023-03-14T15:23:56Z BeylaDawn 2 wikitext text/x-wiki These are the rules of the game we are about to play. Everything from how the game is played to how you gain experience points. ==Code of Conduct== Before we talk about anything else, we have some very basic rules of conduct that everyone will be expected to follow in the game, both In Character and Out of Character. 1. Consent is Queen! This is the first and foremost rule! Everything in this game requires consent, and if it is ever not given, or withdrawn, whatever is going on that is no longer consented to must stop immediately. And when we say consent, we mean enthusiastic, verbal, active consent. Consent is not a passive, implied thing. It is an active gift given by another player or GM. 2. No racism, sexism, ableism, transphobia, or any other speech designed to denigrate or put down others based on who they are. 3. The GM Staff reserves the right to judge speech as unallowed, should a question be raised. We live in a world of dog whistles and code phrases designed by bad actors, and judgement is necessary, and so, it will be a tool in the toolbox of our GMs. 4. If someone is uncomfortable with a topic of conversation, and states as such, then the topic either needs to come to an end, or be taken to a Direct Message. No last point to be made, no final thoughts. You're more than welcome to acknowledge the request, or apologize for making them uncomfortable, however. '''Consequences''' - If these rules are broken, the GM staff will have a private conversation with the offending party. Based on that conversation, and taking into account the severity of the offense, past offenses, and any other factors in play, consequences can range from a warning, to a suspension, to removal from the server. All consequences will be undertaken up front and openly to the party subject to the consequences. ==How the Game Will Be Played== Sunset Hollow is a unique game in the way that it is played. Once you have an approved character, you will see a whole list of available In Character locations on the server. You are not just allowed, but encouraged, to RP in those locations to your heart's content. Find other players who want their characters involved, and interact with them as much as you want. The GMs will interact with these scenes when able or necessary, but their presence is not needed. Rule Adjudication will be handled in a heading below. As often per week as the GM staff can handle, we will be announcing Missions. Missions will be goal-oriented sessions to be played over voice chat on Discord, like a more traditional RPG session. The rules for signing up and participating in these scenes will be covered below. Additionally, you each character will be allowed a certain number of Downtime Actions. Downtimes are actions that are intended to accomplish goals (or Deeds...) but don't necessarily require input from others. Downtimes can require scenes to be run, but don't necessarily. Rules for Downtimes are covered below. ==Server Scenes== A server scene is any scene that takes place, via text, on the actual server. Scenes should take place in one of the IC rooms that your character has access to (for instance, the Birch Room of the Northbridge Lodge is an individual room, and therefore a random Scion coming in off the street would not have access to it). There are three Session Rooms available for scenes that take place away from the normally available IC rooms, but if you find that you're using those session rooms frequently, that might be an indication that the IC rooms provided by the GMs are not currently sufficient, and there should be some additions made. DM your GM staff and make room suggestions. Server Scenes, by definition, do not require the presence of a GM. That is not to say that there will not be scenes set up by downtimes on the server with the GMs, or that the GMs will not get involved. It is to say that you do not need to find a GM to get a Server Scene started. The GM staff is not online 24/7, but the game is open for Server Scenes every day all day. If something comes up that requires a GM to make a rules calling, or have an NPC react, the scene may have to pause in order to get the attention of a GM. All uses of Knacks, Boons, Relics, or other actions of the sort, in Server Scenes, require consent of both the person attempting to use them and the person or persons who would be the target. If consent is not given, then the attempt is simply not taken. If consent is given, but there is a question of implementation or rules of any kind, a GM can be called in to help. If no GM is present and available, then the scene has two options: either pause the scene until a ruling can be made, or the scene is automatically ruled in favor of the defender. In keeping with Rule #1 above, Consent is Queen. Please make liberal use of Trigger Warnings with your own statements (for instance, if someone asks about something in your backstory, and the story may involve elements that might trigger others). To post a Trigger Warning, please use the Spoiler Tag in Discord. A Spoiler Tag is accomplished by placing two vertical bars at the front and end of your text. A Server Scene that is started, but cannot be completed can be put on hold. If this happens, we request that at least one of the players make a note that the scene is on-hold, so that others don't accidentally interrupt it. We do ask that, if a scene needs to be put on hold, every effort be made to get back to the scene as quickly as possible, as having a scene on hold ties up a room that others wish to play in. When a Server Scene comes to an end, we ask that one of the players indicate that the scene is over by placing a black bar across the bottom of the scene. This black bar is accomplished by typing the following into Discord without the quotation marks: "``` ```" Individual Deeds can be accomplished during a Server Scene. ==Mission Scenes== Mission Scenes are the scenes that take place during designated mission times. They are over voice chat unless an alternate scene format is agreed upon ahead of time. Missions will be posted in the Mission Board channel on the Discord Monday Evening (the server uses US CST as a default). It will contain a short synopsis of the "hook" for the mission, the expected styles of play that will be involved (will it be a largely physical mission, or a social, or something else). It will contain whatever Content Warnings the GM might be aware of at the beginning. Also, the number of available player slots will be noted. To participate in one of these Mission Scenes, you must contact the GM who posted the mission and tell them you'd like to sign up. If you are accepted to the scene, then your name will be added to the roster of participants on the initial posting. Slots on the roster will be awarded on a first-come, first-serve basis. The first to request a roster spot will get it. The exception to this is if a player that already has a roster spot has already been on a mission in that month, and a player requesting a spot has not. Players who have already been on missions in the last month will, instead of being placed on the roster, be placed on a separate alternative roster. If there are still slots available 24 hours before the scheduled scene time, players on the alternative roster will be moved to the active roster one at a time, first-come, first serve as always. This way, everyone gets a chance to play in a Mission Scene if they wish, with no real advantage being given to those in a certain time-zone. There is no expectation of Mission participation. This game exists for you to have fun how you want. If you wish to just be a social member of the game and not participate in Missions, that is your prerogative. No punishment will be given for choosing not to participate in Missions. If you have signed up for a Mission and life gets in the way, we understand. Life happens, and game is happy-fun-time. If you can give it, a 24 hour notice will allow us to slot in alternate players, but we understand that's not always possible. No punishment will be levied based on having to back out of scenes. At the beginning of a Mission, the players will have a chance to negotiate a Band Deed goal for the mission. This goal will need to be separate from the actual stated goal of the mission. For instance, if the mission is to rescue a bunch of children from The City, the Deed cannot be "rescue the children." It would need to be something else able to be accomplished, but largely separate from the stated mission goal. Something like "make sure that the people who took the children cannot do it again" would be perfect. XP is awarded based on success of this Band Deed. ==Downtimes== Downtimes are not necessarily scenes. They are the activities that your character partakes between active scenes, be they Server or Missions. They are not mundane things like working a job, but rather specific goals that need to be accomplished. "Go to my shift at the Mausoleum Woods Medical Center" is not a Downtime, it is simply assumed. "Use my access to the MWMC labs to do a full work-up of the type of blood we found at the scene," however, would be a downtime scene. Most Downtimes can be accomplished in a simple call-and-response form. You as the player posts what you want to accomplish in your Downtime Channel on the Discord, and a GM will respond to the Downtime giving the results. Sometimes, Downtimes will require a set of rolls from the player doing them. The GM will indicate when these happen. Sometimes, the Downtime will require a scene. Usually when the outcome depends on more than one roll to accomplish. The GM and Player will work together to schedule this scene, and inviting other players to participate will be the prerogative of the player who posted the Downtime. Each player gets 3 Downtimes per month. The GMs will respond to the Downtimes within a week of them being posted, unless they were posted after the 20th of the month. In that case, the GMs cannot promise that we will be able to get to them in time. An extra XP will be awarded for any Downtimes that come in on or before the 5th of the Month. It is absolutely ok to attempt to follow up on Downtimes after the response has been given. Asking questions, taking the downtime just a step or two further, stuff like that is ok and expected. But, at a certain point, the GM will need to declare that going further requires a further Downtime. You can then use a remaining Downtime for this month to follow up, or if you can't or don't want to, you can wait until the next month. When posting Downtimes, please use your Downtimes Channel on Discord. Please post EACH downtime as a separate post, so that the GM can use the reply function. Please date each downtime, so it is easy to keep track of. Individual Deeds can be accomplished in Downtimes. ==Deeds== Players are encouraged to set Individual Deeds for their characters. Each character will be allowed to have 1 Short Term Individual Deed, and 1 Long Term Individual Deed, active at any given time. A player can accomplish no more than 1 Short Term deed per month. They cannot accomplish more than 1 Long Term Deed in a month, but cannot accomplish Long Term Deeds in consecutive months. ==Experience Points Awards== Experience Points will be awarded in the following ways. Every month, every player, regardless of participation, will be awarded 2 XP. Every player who turns in a downtime will be awarded 1 XP Turning in that downtime on or before the 5th of the month results in 1 extra XP.

Accomplishing the Band Deed goal decided on between players at the beginning of Mission Scenes will result in the awarding of 2 XP When a player accomplishes an Individual Deed, they will be awarded 1 XP. ==Experience Point Floor== We at Sunset Hollow are not interested in people being behind the 8-ball from the beginning of play.

But if you and a player giving '''ENTHUSIASTIC AND ACTIVE CONSENT''' wish to pursue the scene further, please take it to a Direct Message scene. Individual Deeds cannot be accomplished in Direct Message scenes. ==Changes to These Rules and House Rules== The GM staff reserves the right to update, alter, or change these rules in any way that would improve the experience of the game. In cases where major changes need to be made, a notification will be given in the Announcements channel of the Discord detailing the change, and the reasons why. But sometimes a change in wording will be necessary for clarity. In those cases, there may or may not be an announcement made. The GM staff also reserves the right to make changes to the basic rules of the game to accomplish the goals of Sunset Hollow. Here is a complete list of House Rules.

But if you and a player giving '''ENTHUSIASTIC AND ACTIVE CONSENT''' wish to pursue the scene further, please take it to a Direct Message scene. Individual Deeds cannot be accomplished in Direct Message scenes. ==Changes to These Rules and House Rules== The GM staff reserves the right to update, alter, or change these rules in any way that would improve the experience of the game. In cases where major changes need to be made, a notification will be given in the Announcements channel of the Discord detailing the change, and the reasons why. But sometimes a change in wording will be necessary for clarity. In those cases, there may or may not be an announcement made. The GM staff also reserves the right to make changes to the basic rules of the game to accomplish the goals of Sunset Hollow. Here is a complete list of House Rules.
